Hi, I want to be able to send a command to open/close a gate over cellular with 1-5s response time. The only way I can think to do this is by polling which, if done every 5 seconds, would be 17000 polling operations per day per device which just doesn't seem feasible. Is there another reasonable way I can accomplish this with a Particle Boron?
HI, I do not fully understand your scenario and why you would need to poll.
Would you mind clarifying?
In cases where you want to send a command to the device, like open/close a gate, you would call a cloud function on it. The cloud function you hit on the cloud, adn it gets transparently sent to the device right away by the Particle platform.
The API is here:
