how can I connect a PIR motion sensor running on a RPi with Ubuntu Core to AWS IoT Greengrass?
@Middleware & OS
Hey guys, how can I connect a PIR motion sensor running on a Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Core to AWS IoT Greengrass, and trigger actions based on detected motion? I'm encountering challenges in configuring the sensor data to properly interact with AWS IoT Greengrass.

Hi @Boss lady , in order for you to connect your PIR sensor on Raspberry Pi to AWS IoT Greengrass for motion-triggered actions you could try checking out the following:
- Provide a Greengrass core device and create a group in the AWS IoT console.
- Install Greengrass core software on your Raspberry Pi.
- Develop a Lambda function to process sensor data and trigger actions.
- Create a Greengrass recipe with your Lambda function and configure it to subscribe to the PIR sensor data topic and publish messages to the cloud upon motion detection....

- Deploy the recipe to your Raspberry Pi to install the Lambda function and configure its interaction with the sensor data.
- Test it by simulating motion events to verify Lambda function triggers and desired actions occur.
