When you’re managing IoT devices in AWS IoT, the web console can indeed provide you with valuable information about the status of your devices. Here’s how you can check the status of your things in the AWS IoT console:
- Sign in to the AWS Management Console: Go to the AWS Management Console and sign in to your AWS account.
- Navigate to AWS IoT: Once you’re logged in, navigate to the AWS IoT console. You can find it under the “Internet of Things (IoT)” section in the AWS services.
- View Your Things: In the AWS IoT console, you should see a navigation pane on the left side. Click on “Manage” and then select “Things.” This will show you a list of all the IoT things you’ve created.
- Check Thing Status: In the list of things, you’ll see various pieces of information about each thing, including its name, thing type, and its current status. The status might be “Connected,” “Disconnected,” or “Unknown,” depending on whether the device is currently connected to the AWS IoT service.
- View Thing Details: If you want more detailed information about a specific thing, you can click on its name in the list. This will take you to the thing’s details page, where you can see additional information such as its attributes, connectivity status history, and any attached policies or certificates.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily check the status of your things in the AWS IoT console and monitor their connectivity to the AWS IoT service.
