An example project demonstrating the usage of AWS IoT buttons for reporting defect coffee machines (and other devices :p)
What does it contain?
- AWS lambda code
- Android app for devices overview
We have written a story about this project and provided a tutorial at hackster.io.
Modern electronics are great. They do have a disappointing downside however: they tend to break. A lot. Here at de Volksbank, we are currently asking users of coffee machines, printers, etc. to report broken systems in a system or by calling support. While this generally works fine, the worst moment to ask someone to make a phone call is 9 in the morning when they didn't have their coffee yet. To make the process even simpler and quicker, we wanted to automate the process even further. Now coffee machines and printers can include a simple dedicated button which takes care of everything. Pushing it activates a function in the cloud which notifies the right people that a machine is defect, without ever needing to interact with a system or calling the help desk. This also helps the support staff who will no longer be flooded by duplicate messages: if a defect has been reported once, the buttons will automatically stop sending messages until the problem has been fixed. A fun little project and a win for everyone!
