I want to try and receive data from AWS and use this to control peripherals on the BCM4343W Avnet kit.

Long term goal is to use Alexa to send data to AWS and AWS to send to the board to do something.

What is the best example application to start with for this purpose? All the examples i have found seem to involve writing data to AWS not the other way round.

Thanks

Have you tried the demo.aws_iot.shadow app? The app writes data to AWS, but you can go on the AWS console to change the shadow state, resulting in data being published to the device.

Download the shadow app and connect it to AWS. Go on console.aws.amazon.com and click on the 'thing'. Click update shadow, and modify the JSON document to trigger a message to be sent to the device.
