Today, Amazon IoT Device Management announced the general availability of the Commands feature, a managed capability that allows developers to build innovative applications where users can perform remote command and control actions on targeted devices and track the status of those executions. With this feature, you can send instructions, trigger device actions, or modify device configuration settings on-demand, simplifying the development of consumer facing applications.
Commands enable you to set fine-grained access controls, timeout settings, and receive real-time updates and notifications for each command execution, without having to manually create and manage MQTT topics, payload formats, Rules, Lambda functions, and status tracking. In addition, the feature supports custom payload formats, allowing you to define and store command entities as Amazon Web Services resources for recurring use.
The Amazon IoT Device Management commands feature is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more, see technical documentation. To get started, log in to the Amazon IoT Management Console or use the CLI.
