Integrate AWS-IoT in Helium

0

I am trying to connect a LoRaWan device (DRAGINO; RS485-LN converter) via Helium so that you (AWS) can monitor and graphically represent data from devices that communicate via modBus-RTU (RS485).

In addition to "Access Key", "Secret Key", "Region" and "Topic" that Helium asks me to integrate AWS, what other data do I need and where is it for AWS to receive data from Helium?

Could it be wrong that "Region = Global" and "Topic = AWS IoT MQTT"? What other parameters might be wrong or what am I missing for me to start communicating "Helium" with AWS?

Hi. Global is not the right region. Global is what you'll see as the region when you're in the IAM section of the console because IAM is a global service. IoT Core is regional. You need to decide which region you want your data to come in to. Please go to the IoT Core service in the console. When you do, you won't see Global anymore. Instead you'll see what region you've currently selected. This may still not be the region you want Helium to publish to. Click the little dropdown arrow next to the region and then you'll see the available list of regions for IoT Core: us-east-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1, ap-southeast-1 so on and so forth. One of these is what you need for the Helium Region. It's up to you which one.

For the Topic, AWS IoT MQTT is not right. You can pick any topic you want. Some guidance here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/topics.html

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/designing-mqtt-topics-aws-iot-core/mqtt-design-best-practices.html

Once you have these fields right, you can use the MQTT client to check that messages are being received: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/view-mqtt-messages.html

Thank you very much Greg_B, it's already starting to transmit my "DRAGINO RS485-LN" converter from Helium to AWS-IoT-Core.
