When an integration is successfully created and running, all
booleanvalues from message will be published asEvents.
To observe events in the Cumulocity instance UI
Go to

Understanding event objects
Example of an expanded event:
Every event from thingshub contains the following data fields:
header: consists of value path and value reported ("binary_input/0/present_value/value reported true" in example above)
device: device reported event ("sm-nke-s0")
time: datetime event was sent by thingshub ("Time 15 Jan 2019 13:56:06")
server time: datetime event was created in Cumulocity ("Server creation time 15 Jan 2019 13:56:09")
type : indicates type of event. For events from thingshub it's always "Type thingshub_Event"
properties : full message event was generated from ("Properties {"RawPayload":"110a000f00551001","binary_input":{"0":{"present_value":{"value":true}}}}")
