Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Martin Sirull. AWS IoT Device Management has a breadth of tools that enable businesses to build  IoT applications for every industry. However, when it comes to remote access to devices, that typically has involved a customer sending a control message either through a MQTT topic, or updating the device’s shadow and then having the device agent take action on those messages. This has meant that the hardware development teams have needed to explicitly build those specific control capabilities into the devices’ firmware.Device management outside of these pre-configured flows has been especially ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Alvin Yu. In this blog post, we will explain how you can use AWS IoT Core Rules Engine’s HTTP action to send data directly to your existing HTTPS endpoint without writing additional code or making changes to published code. With this feature, you can integrate AWS IoT with your own web services without additional latency and complexity associated with the use of an intermediate service. For more information about this feature, refer to the HTTP action documentation. If you are new to AWS IoT rules, check out this Tutorial.This ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Priyanka Jindal. Alexa Voice Service (AVS) Integration is a new feature of AWS IoT Core that enables device makers to make any connected device an Alexa Built-in device. AVS for AWS IoT reduces both the cost and complexity of producing Alexa Built-in devices by offloading compute and memory intensive tasks from physical devices to the cloud. With the reduction in the engineering bill of materials (eBoM) cost, device makers can now cost-effectively build new categories of differentiated voice-enabled products such as light switches, thermostats, small appliances and more. This ... Read More
