Question: Device-Twin - read reported properties on device-side

[raycon94]

As I understand the standard way is to read-only desired properties and write-only reported properties on device-side. So it´s not possible to get the reported properties from the devicetwin on device-side over twin-notification-messages like for the desired-properties. But the graphic below from the azure-documentations confuses me a bit, as it illustrates that we can write and read reported properties on device-side. Does the SDK support any functions to get the reported properties on device-side?

Hi @raycon94 ,
The graph is correct, you can access the full twin document from the device client, which includes the reported properties.
The answer here has two parts:

• Currently, after you subscribe for Device Twin updates, the first time the callback is invoked you will get the full twin document, which contains both desired and reported properties. All subsequent incremental updates will have Desired properties only;
• We are working on a new function to allow users to get the full Device Twin json on demand (like _GetDeviceTwin(...)) which will make it even easier to retrieve the properties. This is work in progress and should come within one or two months.

@raycon94 ,
we will close this issue for now but feel free to reopen it if you would like to follow up.
Thanks for using the Azure IoT SDKs!
