List things

Focus mode
List things - AWS IoT Core

You can use the ListThings command to list all things in your account:

$ aws iot list-things
{ "things": [ { "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 1, "thingName": "MyLightBulb" }, { "attributes": { "numOfStates":"3" }, "version": 11, "thingName": "MyWallSwitch" } ] }

You can use the ListThings command to search for all things of a specific thing type:

$ aws iot list-things --thing-type-name "LightBulb"
{ "things": [ { "thingTypeName": "LightBulb", "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 1, "thingName": "MyRGBLight" }, { "thingTypeName": "LightBulb", "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 1, "thingName": "MySecondLightBulb" } ] }

You can use the ListThings command to search for all things that have an attribute with a specific value. This command searches up to three attributes.

$ aws iot list-things --attribute-name "wattage" --attribute-value "75"
{ "things": [ { "thingTypeName": "StopLight", "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 3, "thingName": "MyLightBulb" }, { "thingTypeName": "LightBulb", "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 1, "thingName": "MyRGBLight" }, { "thingTypeName": "LightBulb", "attributes": { "model": "123", "wattage": "75" }, "version": 1, "thingName": "MySecondLightBulb" } ] }

For more information, see list-things from the AWS CLI Command Reference.
