The following example uses the List Events request to retrieve all device.connected events for a specific device since January 1, 2024:
Request:

When issuing a request to retrieve or events for a specific device, include the following parameters:
You can set up webhook endpoints to receive device.connected and device.disconnected events. Then, you can use the receipt of these events to display the corresponding device status in your app. For more information about configuring webhooks, see .
