Options

--thing-name (string)

The name of the thing to create.

--thing-type-name (string)

The name of the thing type associated with the new thing.

--attribute-payload (structure)

The attribute payload, which consists of up to three name/value pairs in a JSON document. For example:

{\"attributes\":{\"string1\":\"string2\"}}

Shorthand Syntax:

attributes={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string},merge=boolean

JSON Syntax:

{
  "attributes": {"string": "string"
    ...},
  "merge": true|false
}

--billing-group-name (string)

The name of the billing group the thing will be added to.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
