Connected Home Telemetry on AWS

Reference architecture diagram showing how to measure and collect telemetry data from smart home devices by using AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Analytics, AWS IoT Events, DynamoDB, and Quick.

  1. The devices connect to AWS IoT Core directly by using MQTT from FreeRTOS or through AWS IoT Greengrass.

  2. AWS IoT Core topic rules route data to downstream services:

    • 2a. A topic rule picks up meaningful data and saves it in Amazon DynamoDB.

    • 2b. Another topic rule triggers AWS IoT Events for certain data, like temperature.

    • 2c. AWS IoT Analytics can ingest data directly from AWS IoT Greengrass.

  3. Client applications can retrieve and visualize data:

    • 3a. Client applications can make an API call to retrieve data through Amazon API Gateway.

    • 3b. AWS IoT Events can trigger Amazon Simple Notification Service actions in case certain changes occur in the data (for example, temperature exceeds 25 degrees).

    • 3c. You can import data from AWS IoT Analytics into Amazon Quick Sight for visualization and further insights.

  4. Notifications and data retrieval:

  5. Visualization and alerts:

    • 5a. Client applications can visualize the data in Amazon Quick Sight.
