A csv and json with matching names (eg. example123.json, example123.csv) should be placed in the Imports folder. Then run ImportScript.py using python 3.

python ImportScript.py

It will connect to each device in order, import the provided configuration json, and restart all currently running apps. Note that this process may take several minutes per device.

MQTT and eACM will be started at the end of the process if they weren’t previously running.

For further details on running scripts in different environments, see Client Scripts

#Shared timeout and retry parameters to tune if network is difficult

importTimeOut=1200
retries=Retry(
    total=3, 
    status_forcelist=[429, 500, 502, 503, 504], 
    method_whitelist=["HEAD", "GET", "POST"]
