For many customers, the management console is the primary tool for interacting with and monitoring AWS IoT. This includes connecting a first device, diving into thing details, finding key resources, and testing with the MQTT client. Over the past year, we received feedback from customers that drove the redesign of a new AWS IoT console […]

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 […]

Welcome to Bites of IoT, the first post in a series designed to introduce developers to AWS IoT. In this first bite, we’ll set up a very simple client that can create things in AWS IoT, send messages to those things, subscribe to topics to receive messages from things, and then clean up. The client […]

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 […]

We are proud to announce two new device SDKs for AWS IoT – the AWS IoT SDK for Java and the AWS IoT SDK for Python. These SDKs add to those already available for AWS IoT: Embedded C JavaScript/Node.js Arduino Yún iOS (part of AWS Mobile SDK and samples for iOS) Android (part of AWS Mobile 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 […]

Introduction AWS IoT now supports Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for devices connecting to AWS IoT using TLS. You can now request an EC-based certificate for your device from AWS IoT or register your device using an existing EC-based certificate in order to establish a TLS connection. You can also connect your devices to AWS IoT […]

The pace at which the world is changing has never been faster than it is today. In the last decade, we have witnessed how mobile and big data are contributing to the next technology revolution: the Internet of Things (IoT). There is a lot of hype around IoT. Is it just that, hype? We want to […]
