nrf cloud and aws in hybrid with nrf9160

Muhammad Usman

Hi All!

I am using nrf9160DK with ncs 2.4.0, and asset tracker v2. Fota is working well with nrf cloud and sensor data is with AWS IoT. Can it be possible to use both in hybrid or simultaneously using both the cloud features?

Thanks &  Regards,

Muhammad Usman

    Hi,

    Yes, you are right, i am unable to make FOTA work with AWS.

    Another reason is that, before working with FOTA AWS, I worked with nrf cloud FOTA .FOTA updates were very easy at nrf cloud and user friendly, plus we can easily maintain the records of devices along with the firmware version loaded, and upload the code to multiple devices with single click .

    Are these options available at AWS IoT? Do u recommend me to work with a hybrid solution/ use the nrf cloud API or should I enable the FOTA with AWS IoT?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Muhammad Usman

    I think "forwarding" data via the nRF API like this would be easier in many ways than to run both clouds on one nRF9160 device.
    I have not heard of anyone using two different clouds from the same nRF before, but I am sure that there will be challenges with it.

    EDIT: I checked a bit more. For MQTT, we do support multiple MQTT brokers, but not connecte to multiple at the same time.
    Then it would be a question if our cloud libraries will work at the same time. Intuitively they should not interfere with each other, but you never know before trying it.

    Depending on what you plan to use AWS for, an easier solution might be to forward data from nRF Cloud to AWS IoT.
    You can use the nRF Cloud REST API to communicate with another cloud. See https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Cloud-Services.

    As far as I know, AWS IoT Hub does not have the out-of-the-box setup for device management and FOTA that we do have in nRF Cloud.
    However, I do not have an full overview over what features AWS provide in this regard, so I suggest that you check AWS to verify this.

    Is this the answers you were looking for?
