Using the AWS IoT

Button Wi-Fi App

What is the AWS IoT Button Wi-Fi App?

The Amazon Web Service (AWS) IoT Button Wi-Fi App is an application published by Amazon

that allows the end user to set the button’s Wi-Fi network. The application does not allow the end user to change the button’s functionality. An AWS account is NOT required to use this application.

The Root User is authenticated with their email and password to log on.

*Instructions For Lost Box Barcode

the bottom of the screen.
