AWS Dashboard Console for the ESP8266

Introduction

The AWS Dashboard Console is used to monitor the AWS cloud service alarms and code pipeline status. The console contains Led lights and LCD screen to show the AWS status messages. The backend service for the console is a custom AWS Lambda function that provides a dedicated REST JSON response. Link to the Lambda repository

My implementaion is built on top of the AWS but the backend can be virtually any REST service that provides a suitable JSON response.

Compatibility

This program is intended to run on the ESP8266 based boards. My version uses NodeMCU 1.0 board.

Components

The Dashboard Console contains following components:

• 1 x NodeMCU board
• 7 x Led lamps (4 x red and 3 x green blinking)
• 7 x Resistors for the leds
• 1 x LCD screen 2x16 I2C

JSON content

The JSON content for the console looks like this:

{
    "alarms_list": [],
    "alarms_raised": false,
    "alarms_raised_history": true,
    "pipelines_running": false,
    "pipelines_running_list": [],
