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.
