The clientId in the following topics is configured in the device during the activation stage. See Direct IoT Device Integration

The device subscribes to the following topic:

$aws/things/<clientId>/shadow/name/configuration/update/delta

Example configuration update request message body:

{
  "state": {
     "algorithmActive": false,
     "ambientTemperature": 28
  }
}

Upon making the requested changes, the device reports the changes back to:

$aws/things/<clientId>/shadow/name/configuration/update

Example:

{
  "state": {
    "reported": {
         "algorithmActive": true
    }
  }
}
