AWS IoT

The Things Stack integrates directly with AWS IoT via a default integration that you deploy in your AWS account via CloudFormation.

You can also configure The Things Stack to connect to your AWS IoT Core endpoint via AWS access keys and role-based access control using custom configuration.

When running The Things Stack in your AWS account, you can publish Application Server telemetry to your IoT Core endpoint.

Prerequisites

  1. You need to have The Things Stack deployed in AWS. See the AWS guide to learn how.

Default Integration

The recommended way to integrate with AWS IoT is by using the Default Integration for The Things Stack. This integration is the most feature rich and supports all deployments of The Things Stack. The Default Integration comes with a AWS CloudFormation template to deploy in your AWS account.

Application Server Telemetry

Deprecated in 3.11.1 This is a simple integration that only supports publishing uplink messages and requires The Things Stack to run in your AWS account. This is typically only used for AWS Marketplace AMI deployments.

Default Integration

The key features of the Default Integration are: Handling uplink and downlink messages: The Things Stack publishes uplink messages to IoT Core and subscribes to downlink messages that you sent from IoT Core. Also, you receive all downlink queued, sent, failed, acknowledged and not acknowledged events in IoT Core Creating and claiming devices: manage things in IoT Core, or claim things securely on The Things Join Server by proving ownership Encrypting and decrypting message payloads: leverage true LoRaWAN end-to-end encryption by unwrapping the AppSKey from the Join Server Updating device state in shadow: monitor devices using useful metrics reported in the shadow state, like signal quality and number of covering gateways This integration comes with a AWS CloudFormation template to deploy in your AWS account.

Application Server Telemetry

Deprecated in 3.11.1

The Things Stack supports publishing of uplink messages directly to the AWS IoT suite. Warning: This integration will be removed in a next version. Please switch to the Default Integration instead. AWS IoT suite can be used to subscribe to detailed uplink messages as well as get insights into aggregated metrics of your uplink data. Note: This only works if The Things Stack runs in your AWS account, i.e. in a Enterprise or AWS Launcher deployment.
