name : update-thing.rst **To associate a thing with a thing type** The following ``update-thing`` example associates a thing in the AWS IoT registry with a thing type. When you make the association, you provide values for the attributes defined by the thing type. :: aws iot update-thing \ --thing-name "MyOtherLightBulb" \ --thing-type-name "LightBulb" \ --attribute-payload "{"attributes": {"wattage":"75", "model":"123"}}" This command does not produce output. Use the ``describe-thing`` command to see the result. For more information, see `Thing Types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/thing-types.html>`__ in the *AWS IoT Developers Guide*.
