+# Serverless IoT Event
+
+This example demonstrates how to setup a AWS IoT Rule to send events to a Lambda function.
+
+## Use-cases
+
+- Analytics for IoT events
+- Reacting on IoT events
+
+## Setup
+
+In order to deploy the function simply run
+
+```bash
+serverless deploy
+```
+
+The expected result should be similar to:
+
+```bash
+Serverless: Packaging service...
+Serverless: Uploading CloudFormation file to S3...
+Serverless: Uploading service .zip file to S3 (363 B)...
+Serverless: Updating Stack...
+Serverless: Checking Stack update progress...
+................
+Serverless: Stack update finished...
+Service Information
+service: aws-node-iot-event
+stage: dev
+region: us-east-1
+api keys:
+  None
+endpoints:
+  None
+functions:
+  aws-node-iot-event-dev-log: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:377024778620:function:aws-node-iot-event-dev-log
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+In `serverless.yml` the log-function is configured to receive any event from the IoT Topic `mybutton`. We now can go to the IoT Console and visit the Tab `Test`.
+

+
+There fill `mybutton` into the topic input field in the publish section. Replace existing example data with the following example and press the publish button.
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "My first IoT event",
+  "value": 2
+}
+```

+
+To verify that our event was forwarded to our log-function run
+
+```bash
+serverless logs --function log
+```
+
+The expected result should be similar to:
+
+```bash
+START RequestId: 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599 Version: $LATEST

+END RequestId: 24192153-d10f-11e6-936c-a98ff4127599

+```
+
+In the output you can see the IoT event that has been triggered from the test console.
