Mastering Internet of Things

Registration of device

We must also modify our registration procedure with the Thing Registry. In the previous chapter, we registered self-owned things. These are their own owners and manage security decisions by themselves. Now we must point out that the devices are not self-owned:

this.registryClient.RegisterThing(false, MetaInfo, 
   async (sender, e) => 
   { 
         try 
         { 

In the response, we can learn if the thing has already been claimed. If so, we make sure to update our internal state to reflect this ownership:

if (e.Ok) 
{ 
   await RuntimeSettings.SetAsync("ThingRegistry.Location", 
         true); 
   await RuntimeSettings.SetAsync("ThingRegistry.Owner", 
         e.OwnerJid);
