Architecture for distinguishing messages from multiple devices












0















Let's say I have 1000-10000 sensors. I work on azure. I want to distinguish sensors sending messages. I can (all that I currently know):




  1. Create 1 iot hub with 1 device and send messages from all the sensors. and to distinguish sensors I need to include a special field (sensor id) in the message.
    After that I can read it in trigger.



  2. Create 1 iot hub with 1000-10000 devices and send messages from all the sensors. and to distinguish the sensors in a trigger I can use something like this:



    var deviceId = message.SystemProperties["iothub-connection-device-id"];



    where message is of type Microsoft.ServiceBus.Messaging.EventData



  3. If I want to distinguish message, let's say, by a 'level' field (1, 2, 3..)
    I can add this field into message and then set up routing, query, read this field and redirect to an appropriate end-point



Questions:
1. which of 1st and 2nd approaches is mostly useful/better on real projects with a bunch of sensors
2. Are there other ways to implement such distinguishing on Azure?
