sensor-client.js

JavaScript
This code is for MQTT publisher. aws-iot sdk is used for the development of this Node.js code. When any movement is detected it publish 1 to the topic(topic/test).
var awsIot = require('aws-iot-device-sdk');

var myThingName = 'raspberry-pi';

var thingShadows = awsIot.thingShadow({
   keyPath: './private.pem.key',   // path of private key
  certPath: './certificate.pem.crt', // path of certificate
    caPath: './rootCA.pem',  // path of root file
  clientId: myThingName,
    region: 'us-west-2'  // your region
});

mythingstate = {
  "state": {
    "reported": {
      "ip": "unknown"
    }
  }
}

var networkInterfaces = require( 'os' ).networkInterfaces( );
mythingstate["state"]["reported"]["ip"] = networkInterfaces['wlan0'][0]['address'];

// PIR sensor connected to pin 7
// You can use any gpio pin 
// install npm button library first
var Gpio = require('onoff').Gpio,
button = new Gpio(7, 'in', 'both');

// json data for dynamoDB
var msg = "{\"key\":\"value\"}";

thingShadows.on('connect', function() {
  console.log("Connected...");
  console.log("Registering...");
  thingShadows.register( myThingName );

  // An update right away causes a timeout error, so we wait about 2 seconds
  setTimeout( function() {
    console.log("Updating my IP address...");
    clientTokenIP = thingShadows.update(myThingName, mythingstate);
    console.log("Update:" + clientTokenIP);
  }, 2500 );


  // Code below just logs messages for info/debugging
  thingShadows.on('status',
    function(thingName, stat, clientToken, stateObject) {
       console.log('received '+stat+' on '+thingName+': '+
                   JSON.stringify(stateObject));
    });

  thingShadows.on('update',
      function(thingName, stateObject) {
         console.log('received update '+' on '+thingName+': '+
                     JSON.stringify(stateObject));
      });

  thingShadows.on('delta',
      function(thingName, stateObject) {
         console.log('received delta '+' on '+thingName+': '+
                     JSON.stringify(stateObject));
      });

  thingShadows.on('timeout',
      function(thingName, clientToken) {
         console.log('received timeout for '+ clientToken)
      });

    });
  thingShadows
    .on('error', function(error) {
      console.log('error', error);
    });
	
  
  //Watch for motion detection. high for any movement
  button.watch(function(err, value) {
   console.log("Movement detected ")
   delete mythingstate['version']; //Cleanup to post to AWS
   mythingstate["state"]["reported"]["button"] = value

action-client.py

Python
This Python code is for subscriber, when movement detected it receive 1 from the broker and makes a gpio pin high. Paho mqtt is used for developing the program.
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
import ssl
import json
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# make sure python gpio library is installed
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
actionPin = 23 # Broadcom pin 23 (P1 pin 16)
GPIO.setup(actionPin, GPIO.OUT) # LED pin set as output
GPIO.output(actionPin, GPIO.LOW)

def on_connect(client, userdata, flags, rc):
    print("Connected with result code "+str(rc))
    client.subscribe("topic/test")

def on_message(client, userdata, msg):
    
     if str(msg.payload) == '1':
        print("Movement Detected")
        print(str(msg.payload))
        GPIO.output(actionPin, GPIO.HIGH)  # gpio pin high
        time.sleep(.1)
        GPIO.output(actionPin, GPIO.LOW)
        #time.sleep(0.075)
        
client = mqtt.Client()
client.on_connect = on_connect
client.on_message = on_message
client.tls_set(ca_certs='rootCA.pem', certfile='certificate.pem.crt', keyfile='private.pem.key', tls_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
client.tls_insecure_set(True)
client.connect("A3JRA11PV5KIYG.iot.us-west-2.amazonaws.com", 8883, 60)
