End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, Amazon end support for Amazon IoT Events. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon IoT Events console or Amazon IoT Events resources. For more information, visit this Amazon IoT Events end of support.

Example: Amazon IoT Events event detection with sensors and applications

This detector model is one of the templates available from the Amazon IoT Events console. It's included here for your convenience.

This example demonstrates Amazon IoT Events's application event detection using sensor data. It shows how you can create a detector model that monitors specified events so that you can trigger appropriate actions. You can create multiple sensor inputs, define complex event conditions, and set up graduated response mechanisms.
