Can a device support multiple profiles?

[lenny-goodell]

Device Profiles? Yes.
Example here: https://github.com/edgexfoundry/device-rest-go/tree/main/cmd/res/profiles

All profiles in this folder are used.

Thanks Lenny. Jim White said yes, as long as all profiles are using the same protocol.

How do you specify multiple Device Profiles in a Device? profileName in Device is a string: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/storysu2/edgex-foundry_core_metadata_api/2.3.0#/default/post_device

I don't think there is way to do that. The workaround is to combine multiple Device Profiles into one profile. You can do that manually or try the online tool https://dct.iotechsys.com/

Understand, thanks.
