Sending commands through REST API

Send device commands by updating the device shadow, using the same endpoint and environment variables as in Configuration through REST API:

curl -X PATCH "$BASE/long-range/devices/$DEVICE_ID/state" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NRFCLOUD_OAT" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"desired": {"command": [1, 1]}}'

The command format is "command": [type, id], where the two fields have the following meanings:

• type: The command type. The only valid value is 1, which triggers provisioning.
• id: A unique identifier that you increment for successive commands. The valid range is 1 to 4294967295, which excludes 0.
