ModuleClient IoT Hub Edge device: How to receive messages from device queue?

Question

We deploy IoT Edge Modules to our devices and can send messages to IoT Hub or execute direct methods. ModuleClient however also has a few methods (such as CompleteAsync) to delete a message from the device queue.

Q: Is there any way to receive device queue messages directly in the module? Either by routing rules, use of a ModuleClient method or possibly even by using a DeviceClient instance within a Module?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Not really. Only direct methods are supported with IoT Edge modules. there is sort of a workaround but I would actually not recommend exposing config.yaml to a module.
