    Abstract: A technology is described for operating a device shadowing service that manages device representations for physical devices that are network addressable. An example method may include associating a device representation with a representation type, where the device representation represents a copy of a state of a physical device in network communication with a device shadowing service that maintains the device representation, and the representation type may define a command that can be invoked through the device representation. After the device representation has been associated with the representation type, the command may be invoked through the device representation. Invoking the command may involve identifying the representation type associated with the device representation and determining that the command is supported by the representation type. Thereafter, the command may be executed.

    Abstract: A technology is described for operating a device shadowing service that manages commands associated with groups of device representations. An example method may include receiving a group command associated with a group of device representations managed by a device shadowing service. Device representations included in the group of device representations represent physical devices that connect to the device shadowing service over one or more computer networks. In response to the group command, the device representations included in the group of device representations may be identified and an instruction to perform an action indicated by the group command may be sent to the physical devices represented by the device representations. Thereafter, indications may be received that at least a portion of the physical devices performed the action.
