node-red-contrib-aws-iot

A Node-Red node to read and write to the Amazon Web Services AWS IoT.

Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install

npm install node-red-contrib-aws-iot-hub

Usage

• Install your AWS certificates into your local folder where node-red can reach your directory

  Example:

  /root/.agent/certs/-
                  |--YourThingName.private.key
                  |--YourThingName.cert.pem
                  |--root-CA.crt

  YourThingName is the AWS Thing name what is the value you keyin when creating your thing/device.

• Setup the node-red-contrib-aws-iot-hub node with AWS Certs path pointed to /root/.agent/certs/

  Example:

  awsCerts = /root/.agent/certs/

• The final configuration will be used in the node-red-contrib-aws-iot-hub code look likes:

    keyPath : '/root/.agent/certs/YourThingName.private.key',
    certPath : '/root/.agent/certs/YourThingName.cert.pem',
    caPath : '/root/.agent/certs/root-CA.crt',
    clientId : YourThingName,
    host : <YourAWSIoTCustomEndpoint>
