# Serverless IoT Event This example demonstrates how to setup a AWS IoT Rule to send events to a Lambda function. ## Use-cases - Analytics for IoT events - Reacting on IoT events ## Setup In order to deploy the function simply run ```bash serverless deploy ``` The expected result should be similar to: ```bash Serverless: Packaging service... Serverless: Uploading CloudFormation file to S3... Serverless: Uploading service .zip file to S3 (363 B)... Serverless: Updating Stack... Serverless: Checking Stack update progress... ................ Serverless: Stack update finished... Service Information service: aws-node-iot-event stage: dev region: us-east-1 api keys: None endpoints: None functions: aws-node-iot-event-dev-log: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:377024778620:function:aws-node-iot-event-dev-log ``` ## Usage In `serverless.yml` the log-function is configured to receive any event from the IoT Topic `mybutton`. We now can go to the IoT Console and visit the Tab `Test`.  There fill `mybutton` into the topic input field in the publish section. Replace existing example data with the following example and press the publish button. ```json { "message": "My first IoT event", "value": 2 } ```  To verify that our event was forwarded to our log-function run ```bash serverless logs --function log ``` The expected result should be similar to: ```bash START RequestId: 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599 Version: $LATEST 2017-01-02 18:16:04.768 (+01:00) 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599 { message: 'My first IoT event', value: 2 } END RequestId: 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599 REPORT RequestId: 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599 Duration: 23.53 ms Billed Duration: 100 ms Memory Size: 1024 MB Max Memory Used: 8 MB ``` In the output you can see the IoT event that has been triggered from the test console.
