Just got my AWS IoT Button!

The fastest way to start using your AWS IoT Button is to download the mobile app for iOS at App Store or Android at Google Play Store. The mobile app creates the required AWS IoT resources for you, and adds an event source to your button that uses a Lambda blueprint to invoke a new AWS Lambda function of your choice. Blueprints are preconfigured Lambda functions that allow you to quickly connect the click of a button to the functions that fit you best, such as sending automated emails or text messages or deploying other AWS services.

If you are unable to use the mobile apps, follow these Getting Started instructions:

• User Interfaces: Web and Smartphone
  • Lambda
    • Lambda Dashboard
    • CloudWatch - Lambda logs
  • IoT Console - thing Hub
