It can be set in the prj.conf using: <br />CONFIG_AWS_IOT_CLIENT_ID_STATIC=&quot;&lt;Thing Name&gt;&quot; or at run time using the aws_iot_config structure passed to aws_iot_connect(); If using this option, set CONFIG_AWS_IOT_CLIENT_ID_APP=y<br /> <br />Setting the Client ID at runtime allows the developer to easly deploy fleets of devices with the same firmware. <br />In this case we read the modem&#39;s IMEI and use this as the Client ID.</p> <p>Initialise Amazon Web Services IoT Module</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
