IoT Buttons Module
The IoT Buttons event interface module allows the BlueSky Messaging System to receive events that occur when an Amazon AWS IoT Button is pressed.
The IoT Buttons Module connect up to your WiFi and send a signal to the BlueSky Wireless cloud service. Your on-site BlueSky Messaging System connects to the same BlueSky Wireless cloud service and receives information about any button presses. When a button is pressed, the BlueSky Messaging System knows which button it was and can send a pre-defined message. Each button can be configured with a different message subject, body, destination and priority.
Buttons support several different types of clicks, which can be configured to behave differently:
- Short press
- Long press
- Double press
