End of Life
Q. When is AWS IoT 1-Click going end-of-life (EOL)?
AWS IoT 1-Click will transition into its EOL in a phased manner.
i. On December 15, 2023, AWS will stop onboarding new customers for AWS IoT 1-Click.
ii. On May 16, 2024, AWS will discontinue access to AWS IoT 1-Click service from the AWS Management Console. From May 16, 2024 till December 15, 2024, you will only be able to access your AWS IoT 1-Click resources from the AWS CLI.
iii. On December 16, 2024 (end-of-life date), AWS will stop all support for AWS IoT 1-Click service. On this date, the service will reach its end-of-life. AWS IoT 1-Click APIs and associated AWS CLI support and mobile applications will be shut down.
Q. What happens to my AWS IoT 1-Click projects and buttons after the end-of-life date?
After May 15, 2024, you will no longer be able to access AWS IoT 1-Click service from the AWS Management Console.
After December 15, 2024, calls to AWS IoT 1-Click APIs will cease to work. AWS IoT 1-Click buttons will not trigger the associated actions in AWS Lambda functions. AWS IoT 1-Click resources will be deleted. In lieu of using AWS IoT 1-Click, you can build an alternative solution with AWS IoT Core. To learn about connecting alternative devices to AWS IoT Core, please refer to Getting started with AWS IoT Core.
Q. Can I claim new AWS IoT 1-Click buttons before the end-of-life date?
If you used AWS IoT 1-Click service prior to December 15, 2023, you can continue to claim buttons in your account and use the service until December 15, 2024. Past this date, all support will cease to exist. We strongly recommend you to transition to alternative solutions that do not depend on AWS IoT 1-Click service.
If you did not use AWS IoT 1-Click service prior to December 15, 2023, then from December 15, 2023 onwards, you will not be able to claim buttons in your account.
Q. How can I claim buttons and manage projects after AWS removes access to AWS IoT 1- Click service from the AWS Management Console?
After May 15, 2024, you will no longer be able to access AWS IoT 1-Click service from the AWS Management Console. If you used AWS IoT 1-Click service prior to December 15, 2023, you can claim AWS IoT 1-Click buttons and manage your projects from AWS CLI until December 15, 2024. For more information on the CLI usage, refer to developer guide.
Q. Can I claim my AWS IoT 1-Click buttons after the end-of-life date?
No. After December 15, 2024, you will not be able to use the service, including the ability to claim new IoT buttons.
Q. Will my AWS IoT 1-Click buttons work after the end-of-life date?
No. You may continue to see a green light on the button, which only represents Wi-Fi or Cellular connectivity link status of the button. However, IoT buttons will not trigger the associated actions in AWS Lambda.
Q. Will I be billed for my remaining AWS IoT 1-Click buttons after the end-of-life date?
You will be billed only for the enabled buttons until December 15, 2024 per AWS IoT 1-Click pricing. After December 15, 2024, there will be no billing for AWS IoT 1-Click service.
Q. Can I migrate my resources before the end-of-life date?
AWS IoT 1-Click buttons are configured to connect to AWS IoT 1-Click service. It is not possible to migrate the resources. In lieu of using AWS IoT 1-Click, you can build an alternative solution with AWS IoT Core. To learn about connecting alternative devices to AWS IoT Core, please refer to Getting started with AWS IoT Core.
Q. How do I delete my AWS IoT 1-Click resources?
To delete the resources used by AWS IoT 1-Click, please refer to technical documentation.
General
Q. What is AWS IoT 1-Click?
AWS IoT 1-Click is a new service that makes it easy for simple devices to trigger AWS Lambda functions for required actions. With AWS IoT 1-Click, simple devices are ready to securely connect to AWS IoT Core right out of the box. This makes it easy for developers to deploy these devices into their applications without the need for creating, installing and managing certificates. AWS IoT 1-Click provides device manufacturers with the tools and APIs needed to provision certificates at the time of manufacturing and register the devices with AWS IoT.
Q. What are simple devices?
Simple devices are Internet connected devices that are connected through different methods including Wi-Fi, LTE-M, NB-IoT, SigFox etc. These devices have a single purpose that can be associated with actions such as AWS Lambda functions. This action can be triggered in a simple and scalable manner with AWS IoT 1-Click. Examples of simple devices include but are not limited to:
Button-like devices: These devices can be clicked to trigger particular actions.
Asset Trackers: Trackers on containers in warehouses or on trucks transporting materials enable location tracking for instant traceability and notification.
Temperature Sensors: Actions such as temperature control could be triggered based on temperatures reaching predefined thresholds, based on customer requirements.
Card readers: Devices to track entry/exit of authorized personnel into offices, laboratories, or factories as part of workplace procedures.
Q. Which simple devices are supported with AWS IoT 1-Click?
Visit the AWS IoT 1-Click Devices page to view all devices supported by AWS IoT 1-Click.
Q. Can I use my existing AWS IoT buttons for the AWS IoT 1-Click?
No, your existing AWS IoT buttons (both the 1st generation and the 2nd generation) will not be supported with AWS IoT 1-Click.
Q. In which regions will the AWS IoT 1-Click Preview be available?
Please see the AWS Region Table to see AWS IoT 1-Click availability.
Q. How do I get started with AWS IoT 1-Click?
Visit the AWS IoT 1-Click documentation to view the getting started guide. This document has the details on how you can get started with AWS IoT 1-Click.
Q. What are the AWS IoT 1-Click features?
Please view the AWS IoT 1-Click Features page for the full list of features.
Q. I was part of the AWS IoT 1-Click Preview Program. Will my buttons work with the General Availability of AWS IoT 1-Click?
Yes. However, you would need to recreate your projects and re-define your contextual data for devices in your account. You will also need to upgrade to the launch version of the AWS IoT 1-Click mobile app. There is no need to whitelist your account either for the console or the mobile app.
Q. I was part of the AWS IoT Button Enterprise Program. Will my buttons work on with AWS IoT 1-Click?
No, the AWS IoT Button Enterprise Program has been retired. The buttons that were supported with that program will not work with AWS IoT 1-Click.
Q. Will I be able to get branded custom labels on the AWS IoT Enterprise Buttons with AWS IoT 1-Click?
No, the AWS IoT 1-Click service does not include branded custom labels. The buttons come with standard AWS IoT Enterprise Button labels.
Q. What do I do if my button does not work in spite of being connected to the Internet?
Please visit the AWS IoT 1-Click documentation to troubleshoot the problem. The LED colors on the button should help you to determine if the problem is with the physical device or the network. If the problem persists, please contact AWS support.
