Allow things activation without registering them in advance.
You can leverage this plugin to avoid the pre-registration of the things that can be activated by end-user through the Thing Activation procedure.
With this plugin, you can configure an external endpoint to be invoked during thing activation to get the thing information by serial number, including:
- Thing Definition name.
- Thing property values.
In order to read thing information, it is expected that the external endpoint returns a plain JSON object.
