Can not subscribe to a reserved topic

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I am trying to subscribe a topic from a web app and get an error message "Uncaught cannot subscribe to topic array since one of them is a reserved topic ‘$aws/things/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/shadow/get/accepted’. Here is my code: this.thingShadow.on("connect", () => { this.thingShadow.subscribe(["$aws/things/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/shadow/get/accepted"], {}, (error: any) => { console.log("subscribe ", error); });

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have moved to use aws/aws-sdk-js a while back. FYI, the web app is not on the Iot Device. I tried to subscribe to the iot server in a hope of getting notifications whenever the iot Device pushes an update to the server

@bentranmyriota, is this a web app that is on the IoT device? If not, it is probably best to use aws/aws-sdk-js and its IotData API. From that you can use getThingShadow() to retrieve the shadow

Hope that helps as well!
