Huge potential to up sensor older equipment with a single device. A lot of current installs that I have seen use devices like a Raspberrypi for computing and then have to integrate with a controller to get sensor data. Which seems inelegant, not to mention that a Raspberrypi is not industrial grade or 24v! Having the computing and sponsoring all in one industrial grade unit at a good price is very cool.

They have some restrictions regarding distributions on ARM. See documentation. But there is also a docker image from amazon. Probably this will work, but I haven't tried because I don't have an AWS account. Best regards!
