How could Amazon Web Services interface with battery storage?

[Master1022]

TL;DR

What type of AWS service could actually be used to interface with a large scale battery storage?

Hi,

So this is a purposely abstract question and no specific details of the battery have been provided. I was wondering what type of AWS service would be appropriate to send signals to a battery (to release or store electricity)? I was looking around on the website and couldn't quite figure out which service would be the most appropriate. This isn't going to be used in reality, just for an idea. Otherwise, the device doesn't even need to be a battery, but just any physical device.

Thanks in advance for any help.

First, I think you'd need a local client app to interface with AWS, The app would send requests to AWS to do something and AWS would return an answer.

The local app could use the answer to act on whatever hardware / software it is interfacing with. Think of using image recognition where an AWS app does the search and returns the result.

Consider the case of security cams, they monitor and record info that is passed onto the web and your security app can view captured videos and get alerts.

Or consider the smart plugs, they connect to the web via your local router allowing your vendor-specific app to control them wherever you are.

However, most folks would use it as part of their business where AWS provides computing power like a utility provides electric power.
