Notify controller action method from other independent handler within specific time
I have a situation where I need to wait for response from device(using mqtt broker which doesnt matter in current questions context).
Whenever I get an API call on one specific endpoint
- I need to wait(2-5 seconds depending upon the need) for response from device on the other handler(mqtt handler => https://github.com/gausby/tortoise)
- this handler needs to notify controller action method somehow I got this msg(if handler received msg withing that time) for the particular device id
- if device matches and controller action method get notified we send back success response otherwise we send failure response
- Any msg received before or after wait time doesnt matter(just consider it unsubscribed)
I am not really sure about whats the best way to achieve above requirement. any help is welcome, thanks
