Remote commands
Important
Access to certain AWS IoT FleetWise features is currently gated. For more information, see AWS Region and feature availability in AWS IoT FleetWise.
This documentation describes how to use the commands feature for AWS IoT FleetWise. For information about using the commands feature in AWS IoT Device Management, see commands.
You are solely responsible for deploying commands in a manner that is safe and
compliant with applicable laws. For more information on your responsibilities, please

Use the remote commands feature to execute commands on a vehicle from the cloud. Commands target one device at a time, and can be used for low-latency, high-throughput applications, such as to retrieve the device-side logs, or to initiate a device state change.
The command is a resource that's managed by AWS IoT Device Management. It contains reusable configurations that are applied when sending a command execution to the vehicle. You can pre-define a set of commands for specific use cases, or use them to create reusable configurations for recurrent use cases. For example, you can configure commands that can be used by an App to lock a vehicle's door or to change the temperature remotely.
Using the AWS IoT commands feature, you can:
-
Create a command resource and reuse the configuration to send multiple commands to your target device and then execute them on the device.
-
Control the granularity with which you want each command to be executed on the device. For example, you can provision a vehicle as an AWS IoT thing, and then send a command to lock or unlock the doors of the vehicle.
-
Run multiple commands concurrently on the target device without waiting for the previous one to be completed.
-
Choose to enable notifications for commands events, and retrieve the status and result information from the device as it runs the command and once it's completed.
The following topics show you how to create, send, receive, and manage commands.
