BatchPutMessage examples for an HVAC system in AWS IoT Events

In this example, BatchPutMessage is used to create a detector instance for an area and define the initial operating parameters.

CLI command used:

aws iotevents-data batch-put-message --cli-input-json file://seedExample.json --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out

File: seedExample.json

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "messageId": "00001",
      "inputName": "seedTemperatureInput",
      "payload": "{\"areaId\": \"Area51\", \"desiredTemperature\": 20.0, \"allowedError\": 0.7, \"rangeHigh\": 30.0, \"rangeLow\": 15.0, \"anomalousHigh\": 60.0, \"anomalousLow\": 0.0, \"sensorCount\": 10, \"noDelay\": false}"
    }
  ]
}

Response:

{
    "BatchPutMessageErrorEntries": []
}

In this example, BatchPutMessage is used to report temperature sensor readings for a single sensor in an area.

CLI command used:

aws iotevents-data batch-put-message --cli-input-json file://temperatureExample.json --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out

File: temperatureExample.json

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "messageId": "00005",
      "inputName": "temperatureInput",
      "payload": "{\"sensorId\": \"05\", \"areaId\": \"Area51\", \"sensorData\": {\"temperature\": 23.12} }"
    }
  ]
}

Response:

{
    "BatchPutMessageErrorEntries": []
}

In this example, BatchPutMessage is used to change the desired temperature for an area.

CLI command used:

aws iotevents-data batch-put-message --cli-input-json file://seedSetDesiredTemp.json --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out

File: seedSetDesiredTemp.json

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "messageId": "00001",
      "inputName": "seedTemperatureInput",
      "payload": "{\"areaId\": \"Area51\", \"desiredTemperature\": 23.0}"
    }
  ]
}

Response:

{
    "BatchPutMessageErrorEntries": []
}

In this example, we use the DescribeDetector API to get information about the current state of a detector instance.

aws iotevents-data describe-detector --detector-model-name areaDetectorModel --key-value Area51
