Thingy 52, best way transmit real time data to AWS GreenGrass

[Ankit Madan]

Hi, 

I am experimenting with the Thingy52, how do I transmit data from it to the cloud platform of my choice?

1. In the menu options, I see cloud, what is it for?
2. What is a Cloud Token, and from where will this value be populated?

I want to build an end to end solution using Thingy52 at the end sensor, finding ways to get the real time data out of it, please assist me here.

What am I missing here?

I plan to use Pi as a Gateway, but wanted to explore the option of not configuring a gateway, or if there is way to transmit real time data directly.

Hi Ankit,

Sorry for the late reply.

The cloud options and cloud token are used to connect Thingy:52 with IFTTT. Please see the documentation on Infocenter for details. We also have a video demo of the IFTTT cloud functionality.

We have reference apps for Android, iOS and Web showing how to use your phone as a gateway for Thingy:52.  The source code is available on GitHub. If you would like a more permanent gateway we also have examples for Raspberry Pi.

Thanks Ketil, I and my team member Paritosh are trying to set it up. Let us get back to you with questions.

We are looking for a more permanent gateway, using Pi. Thanks!

Hi Ankit and Paritosh,

Good luck with your Raspberry Pi Gateway.
