This document summarizes a presentation about developing applications with the AWS IoT Button. It provides an overview of the AWS IoT service and its capabilities including device management, data processing and rules engine. It then discusses the AWS IoT Button and how it can be used to trigger Lambda functions, S3 uploads and DynamoDB writes with single, double or long button presses. It also demonstrates a retail use case where button clicks initiate inventory workflows. Finally, it outlines how enterprises can use customized IoT Buttons for various use cases like reorders or equipment maintenance.

console.log('Received event:', event);
console.log(`Sending SMS to ${PHONE_NUMBER}`);
const payload = JSON.stringify(event);
const params = {
PhoneNumber: PHONE_NUMBER,
Message: `IoT Button ${event.serialNumber}.
Here is the full event: ${payload}.`,
};
// result will go to function callback
SNS.publish(params, callback);
};

Developing with the IoT Button

28. Developing with the IoT Button
Battery voltage falls below a threshold
Battery voltage and total clicks for usage
Use “clickType” for different workflows
Use “serialNumber” for location
Use “batteryVoltage” for low battery alert
Single press triggers low priority
Double press triggers high priority
Long press triggers clear priority
Use one serial number for one location
Tie many buttons to one larger area
