Example: AWS IoT Events event detection with sensors and applications - AWS IoT Events

End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, AWS will end support for AWS IoT Events. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the AWS IoT Events console or AWS IoT Events resources. For more information, see AWS IoT Events end of support.

Example: AWS IoT Events event detection with sensors and applications

This detector model is one of the templates available from the AWS IoT Events console. It's included here for your convenience.

This example demonstrates AWS IoT Events's application event detection using sensor data. It shows how you can create a detector model that monitors specified events so that you can trigger appropriate actions. You can create multiple sensor inputs, define complex event conditions, and set up graduated response mechanisms.
