Allows Technicians to perform a firmware update on the connected Things.

By clicking on a (Re)Install button, you can trigger the update of the selected firmware. Note that, to receive update commands from the cloud, products have to subscribe to the predefined /update topic path.

When a firmware update is triggered, a message is issued by the cloud on that topic.

TOPIC  <username>/<asset-id>(/<thing-path>)?/update

PAYLOAD
{
   data: {
      "command" : "UPDATE_FIRMWARE",
      "name": "wifi",
      "size": 1572864,
      "md5": "b95b38725d3d341ca13e6187530d2821",
      "version": "1.2.3",
      "downloadUrl": "https://api.servitly.com/123456y7uhgbnht5r6"
   }
}

Once the message is received, the connected product must download the file from the given download URL, verify the MD5 checksum and apply the update.

Firmware updates can be performed only on the connected products that are online at the time of update.
