Connecting the Unconnected with AWS IoT

Webinar with Cloud Academy, London, November 24th, 2016

Connecting physical devices to the cloud can enhance the user experience. AWS IoT is a new managed service that enables Internet-connected things (sensors, actuators, devices, and applications) to easily and securely interact with each other and the cloud. In this session, we will discuss how constrained devices can send data to the cloud and receive commands back to the device. Devices can securely connect using MQTT, HTTP and WebSockets protocols and developers can leverage several features of AWS IoT such as the Rules Engine and Thing Shadows to quickly and easily build a real connected product. This session will take a practical approach to developing real-world IoT and mobile applications in which the back end is serverless and can scale from one to virtually unlimited users without any infrastructure or servers to manage.

 Pub/Sub Broker
 with Long-lived
 bi-directional messages
43. Rules Engine SELECT *
 FROM ‘things/thing-2/color’
 WHERE color = ‘red’ Simple & Familiar Syntax SQL Statement to define topic filter with JSON support Functions improve signal : noise
44. Device Shadow Intermitted Connections Persistent

    Delta RESTful API Shadow
45. Open Source AWS IoT Device SDK Embedded C JavaScript Arduino Yún Android iOS Java Python
46. MQTT
47. MQTT Topic Device A “Sensor” Device B “Control Center” (1) Subscribe (3) Message (2) Publish MQTT Topic = topic level / topic level / … ↓ “myapp/customer123/house4/kitchen/temperature”
48. Wildcards for Topic Subscriptions ‘+’ single level ‘#’ multi level “myapp/customer123/house4/+/temperature” “myapp/+/+/kitchen/+” “myapp/customer123/house4/#” “myapp/customer123/#” “myapp/#” $topics are not subscribed by “#’”
49. Device Shadows
50. Device Shadows RESTful API https://endpoint/things/thingName/shadow endpoint = identifier.iot.region.amazonaws.com HTTP GET → GetThingShadow HTTP POST → UpdateThingShadow HTTP DELETE → DeleteThingShadow
