Connected devices have found their way into a myriad of commercial and consumer applications. Industries have already moved, or are in the process of moving to, operational models that require them to measure broad data points in real time and optimize their operations based on their analysis of this data. The move to smart connected […]

The AWS IoT platform enables you to connect your internet-enabled devices to the AWS cloud via MQTT/HTTP/Websockets protocol. Once connected, the devices can send data to MQTT topic(s). Data ingested on MQTT topics can be routed into AWS services (like Amazon S3, Amazon SQS, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Lambda etc.), by configuring rules in AWS IoT […]

Welcome to another installment in the Bites of IoT blog series. In this bite, we will use the AWS IoT rules engine to select and route a message to Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS). Specifically, we’ll send a text message to a phone number when someone rings a virtual doorbell. Concepts Covered in This […]

In an earlier blog post about certificates, we discussed how use-your-own-certificate support in AWS IoT lets customers use device certificates signed and issued by their own certificate authority (CA) to connect and authenticate with AWS IoT. This is an alternative to using certificates generated by AWS IoT. Using your own certificate with AWS IoT is […]

September 8, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. See details. One of the biggest benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the ability to get contextual insight from sensor data. Before you analyze sensor data, you may want to remove anomalies. Sometimes, though, you may want to analyze the […]

Note: AWS IoT Device SDK for Java and Python mentioned in this blog post have been replaced by AWS IoT Device SDK for Java V2 and AWS IoT Device for Python V2. We are proud to announce two new device SDKs for AWS IoT – the AWS IoT SDK for Java and the AWS IoT SDK […]

September 8, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. See details. The AWS IoT platform enables you to connect your devices and build scalable Internet of Things solutions with the breadth of Amazon Web Services. When shopping for a new tool, many developers want to be able to test-drive options before making […]

September 8, 2021: Amazon Elasticsearch Service has been renamed to Amazon OpenSearch Service. See details. In AWS IoT, you can create a device shadow (sometimes referred to as a thing shadow) that will be used as a communication layer between your mobile/cloud application and your devices connected to AWS IoT. The shadow is a persistent, virtual […]

Note: To ensure you’re using the most current cryptographic features, we encourage you to consult our latest AWS IoT Core documentation. Our team regularly enhances these capabilities to meet emerging security needs. If you need specific guidance about ECC or other cryptographic features, please reach out to AWS support for detailed assistance. Introduction AWS IoT […]

Note: This content references legacy AWS IoT services and features that have evolved significantly. While we preserve this post for historical context, we encourage you to reference the current AWS IoT documentation for accurate service capabilities and implementation guidance. The pace at which the world is changing has never been faster than it is today. […]
