Group command management for device groups

Abstract

A technology is described for operating a device shadowing service that manages commands associated with groups of device representations. An example method may include receiving a group command associated with a group of device representations managed by a device shadowing service. Device representations included in the group of device representations represent physical devices that connect to the device shadowing service over one or more computer networks. In response to the group command, the device representations included in the group of device representations may be identified and an instruction to perform an action indicated by the group command may be sent to the physical devices represented by the device representations. Thereafter, indications may be received that at least a portion of the physical devices performed the action.
