[Roland Baldin]

Hi,

just published the first version of a tutorial how to integrate a “real” comfort sensor with IoT Creators, AWS Lambda, AWS Timestream DB and Grafana in our documentation library.

• Step 1: Register and activate sensor device
  • Register device in IoT Creators
  • Activate IMBUILDING comfort sensor

• Step 2: Create AWS user and role with IAM
  • Create Role for Lambda Function
  • Create User for Grafana Client

• Step 3: Create AWS Timestream DB
  • Create IoT DB
  • Create IoT Table

• Step4: Create AWS Lambda function for data decoding and injection
  • Create Lambda function
  • Create up-to-date boto3 library Layer and bind it to Lambda function
    • Create updated boto3 library with Timestream support
    • Create Lambda Layer for updated boto3 library
    • Assign updated boto3 library Layer to Lambda function

• Step 5: Make Lambda function accessable from the internet
  • Create API Gateway
    
  • Bind Lambda function to API Gateway
  • Test Lambda function and verify if data is written to Timestream DB
    

• Step 6: Add static authentication token to Lambda function
  
  • Create Lambda authorizer function
  • Bind Lambda authorizer to API Gateway
  • Test the authorization

• Step 7: Integrate IoT Creators with AWS Timestream DB
  • Register your AWS Lambda function as application callback in your IoT Creators project
  • Test the integration

• Step 8: Integrate Grafana with AWS Timestream
  
  • Add Amazon Timestream Plugin to your Grafana
  • Add Amazon Timestream Data Soruce to your Grafana

• Step 9: Create an IoT Dashboard in Grafana

• Step 10: Integrate AWS Simple Queue Service
