Announcing managed integrations for AWS IoT Device Management (Preview)

Today, AWS IoT Device Management announces the preview of managed integrations, a new feature that enables you to simplify control and management of a diverse set of devices across multiple manufacturers and connectivity protocols. The new feature helps you streamline cloud onboarding of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and enables you to control both self-managed and third-party devices, including cloud-based devices, from a single application. Managed integrations provides cloud and device Software Development Kits (SDKs) for device connectivity and protocol support for ZigBee, Z-Wave, and Wi-Fi specifications, eliminating the need to handle dedicated connectivity protocols from different manufacturers separately. A unified API coupled with a catalog of cloud-to-cloud connectors and 80+ device data model templates enable you to control both proprietary and third-party devices from a single application. Additionally, you can easily process and integrate device data from those devices for building home security, energy management, and elderly care monitoring solutions. Managed integrations for AWS IoT Device Management also provides built-in capabilities for barcode scanning and direct pairing of devices, delivering additional mechanisms to simplify device onboarding and integration complexities. The managed integrations feature is available in Canada (Central) and Europe (Ireland) [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/). To learn more, see [technical documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iotmanagedintegrations/latest/devguide/what-is-service.html) and read [this blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/iot/introducing-managed-integrations-for-aws-iot-device-management/). To get started, log in to the [AWS IoT console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/iot/home) or use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
