4G Sensor Hub Data Logger Connecting to AWS MQTT Broker

Products & Technology SenseCAP
1

Good day,

I need to connect a 4G Sensor Hub to an MQTT Broker hosted by Amazon AWS IoT Core.

AWS requires all IoT devices to encrypt communications.

i) Is TLS implemented on the hub? Using the Sensor Hub Configuration Tool I do not see the option to turn TLS on/off

For testing purposes I connected the hub to the SenseCAP Portal and could see measurements being published, but I could not see anything there or in the documentation about TLS

Thanks,

Johnny

The 4G Sensor Hub handles TLS automatically, so you won’t see an option in the config tool. For AWS IoT Core, just provide the correct certificates and endpoint—the hub will manage the secure connection on its own.

What do you mean by “… just provide the correct certificates”?
For Lora gateways I’m able to copy/paste the certificates when I’m doing the configuration… for the Sensor Hub, I have not found a way to (via Sensor Hub Configuration Tool) to do the same.

Tech Support has replied to my ticket and they have stated that the Sensor Hub DOES NOT implement TLS… so I’m really curious to find out how you managed to get it to work.

Thanks in advance.
