What Is So Special In IoT?

• We are connecting the physical world• Energy, Scale, Security

• Communication isn’t always stable

• Software on Things• Can be out of reach

• Where is the logic?

Goals:

1. The life of a Thing

2. Community of Things

3. Wisdom of the Things

The Story: A Pod Carried By Drone

Goals:

1. The life of a Thing

2. Community of Things

3. Wisdom of the Things

AWS IoT

Connecting a Thing To AWS IoT

Sending Telemetry From a Thing to AWS IoT

Demo: Let’s See It Again – Pod Telemetry

Scalability

• We have just created > 79,000 pods sending telemetry

Hello

World!

Goals:

1. The life of a Thing

2. Community of Things

3. Wisdom of the Things

How Can Things Interact?

• A Thing can listen to a Thing• MQTT / HTTP

• A Thing can command others• Querying/Updating a shadow’s state (Policy)

• Things can create a group discussion• Listen and discuss a topic

• Things׳ autocracy• Rule Engine

• Application Logic

• Distributed

Demo: Let’s See a Command In Action

AWS IoT – Thing’s Shadow

AWS IoT – Thing’s Shadow

Shadow

AWS IoT Device Shadow - Simple Yet Powerful

{

"state" : {

“desired" : {

”lamp": “ON”,

”fan" : "ON"

},

"reported" : {

”lamp": “OFF”,

”fan" : "ON"

},

"delta" : {

”lamp": “ON”,

} },

"version" : 10

}

Thing

Reports its current state to one or multiple shadows

Retrieves its desired state from shadow

Your Application

Sets the desired state of a device

Gets the last reported state of the device

Shadow

Shadow reports delta, desired and reported

states along with metadata and a version

Rules Engine

Rules Engine: Extracting Value From Messages

• Filter messages with certain criteria

• Transform the payload of messages

• React based on messages• Move messages to other topics

• Move messages to other systems

• Predict changes based on trends (Water heater example)

Rules Engine: Move Messages To Other Systems

Invoke a Lambda function

Put object in an S3 bucket

Insert, update a

DynamoDB table

Publish to an SNS topic

or endpoint

Publish to a Kinesis stream(And to EMR and Spark)

Publish to Firehose

Republish to AWS IoT

Publish to Elasticsearch service

Capture a CloudWatch

metric or change an alarm

Write to SQS queue

A Rule from Our System

Amazon Elasticsearch Service Integration

Demo: Analytics (Big Data – but you already know that...)

Amazon Machine Learning Predict Function

Summary:

1. The life of a Thing

2. Community of Things
