What does simulating an event from a SIM do?
Simulating an event from a SIM allows you to create test events and send test messages to the API as if they came from your SIM without needing a physical device connection. This is particularly useful for testing and debugging your alerts and webhooks. When you simulate a message:- The message will trigger alerts just like a real message from your device.
- You can specify custom data payload and topics for testing.
- The message automatically includes the event tags:
_REST_API_(the simluated message event tag) and_DEVICE_<ID>_(the SIM’s event tag). You cannot simulate system event tags surrounded by underscores. - All configured alerts subscribing to
_REST_API_or_DEVICE_<ID>_will process the simulated event normally.
