Asset Management Client for Python¶
Introduction¶
The Asset Management Service is used to interact with the digital representation of a machine or automation system. Refer to Asset Management for more information about the service.
Further implementation of the IOT AssetManagement SDK library has been shown in a sample project that you can download and test in local or on Insights Hub application. Please refer to this repository: industrial-iot-python-sdk-examples

Aspect Type Operations¶
The aspect type client manages static and dynamic aspect types. It lists, creates, updates, reads, and deletes aspect types.
Client name: AspecttypeClient
List all Aspect Types¶
