Schema

Inputs and Outputs:

{
  "inputs":[
    {
      "name": "thingName",
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    {
      "name": "awsEndpoint",
      "type": "string",

    },
    {
      "name": "reported",
      "type": "params"
    }
  ]
}

Settings

Setting	Description
thingName	The name of the "thing" in Aws IoT
awsEndpoint	The Aws Iot Endpoint for the account
desired	The desired state to update
reported	The reported state to update

Configuration

Certificate Installation

The activity looks for the Aws device certificates in a "things" directory relative to where the engine was started. Download the root CA certificate file and save it as "things/root-CA.pem.crt". Now place the cert and private key generated by Aws IoT for your thing under "things/[thingName]" as device.pem.crt and device.pem.key respectively.

Flow Configuration

Configure a task in flow to update the device shadow of 'raspberry-pi' with a reported temp of "50".

Functions

func NewActivity

func NewActivity(metadata *activity.Metadata) activity.Activity

NewActivity creates a new AwsIoT activity

func NewTLSConfig

func NewTLSConfig(thingName string) *tls.Config

NewTLSConfig creates a TLS configuration for the specified 'thing'

Types

type AwsIoT

type AwsIoT struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

AwsIoT is an Activity that is used to update an Aws IoT device shadow inputs : {method,uri,params} outputs: {result}

func (*AwsIoT) Eval

func (a *AwsIoT) Eval(context activity.Context) (done bool, err error)

Eval implements api.Activity.Eval - Invokes a Aws Iot Shadow Update

func (*AwsIoT) Metadata

func (a *AwsIoT) Metadata() *activity.Metadata

Metadata returns the activity's metadata

type ShadowRequest

type ShadowRequest struct {
	State *ShadowState `json:"state"`
}

ShadowRequest is a simple structure representing a Aws Shadow Update Request

type ShadowState

type ShadowState struct {
	Desired  map[string]string `json:"desired,omitempty"`
	Reported map[string]string `json:"reported,omitempty"`
}

ShadowState is the state to be updated
