End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, AWS will end support for AWS IoT Events. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the AWS IoT Events console or AWS IoT Events resources. For more information, see [AWS IoT Events end of support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iotevents/latest/developerguide/iotevents-end-of-support.html).

# Use BatchUpdateDetector to update an AWS IoT Events detector model
<a name="iotevents-commented-example-batch-update-detector"></a>

You can use the `BatchUpdateDetector` operation to put a detector instance into a known state, including timer and variable values. In the following example, the `BatchUpdateDetector` operation resets operational parameters for an area that is under temperature monitoring and control. This operation enables you to do this without having to delete, and recreate, or update the detector model.

CLI command:

```
aws iotevents-data batch-update-detector --cli-input-json file://areaDM.BUD.json
```

File: `areaDM.BUD.json`
