Amazon Signage Stick remote management API design

Amazon just launched the Remote Management API for the Amazon Signage Stick, and Yodeck already supports it.

If you’re using Amazon Signage Stick for digital signage, you can now handle both content delivery and device management from a single platform. Basically, centralized control over your entire deployment through one digital signage CMS remote management integration.

What the Amazon Signage Stick remote management API does

Amazon’s new API gives you remote access to functions that used to require physical access to each screen:

  • Power control: Turn displays on or off without touching them
  • Playback verification: See what’s currently playing on any screen through the Amazon Signage Stick screen capture API
  • Amazon Signage Stick status monitoring: Check player health and device status in real time
  • Amazon Signage Stick device health monitoring: Track CPU monitoring, storage monitoring, temperature monitoring, and Amazon Signage Stick IP address lookup
  • Amazon Signage Stick remote troubleshooting: Catch issues before they become problems, including Amazon Signage Stick remote reset capabilities

How Amazon Signage Stick remote management works in Yodeck

The Amazon Signage Stick CMS integration is pretty straightforward. Once you connect your Amazon Signage Stick to Yodeck, you get:

Single-platform management

Your content scheduling and device controls live in the same interface. Update a Playlist, check Amazon Signage Stick real time monitoring data, restart a player. All without leaving Yodeck.

Real visibility

You know what’s running, what’s not, and why. If your player goes offline, you’ll see it through digital signage player monitoring. If your display is not responding, you can use Amazon Signage Stick remote troubleshooting tools.

Easier scaling

Adding your tenth screen works the same as adding your hundredth for your Amazon Signage Stick enterprise deployment. The management overhead doesn’t multiply with your screen count.

Less driving around

Most issues don’t require a site visit anymore. Check the status, perform a remote reset, verify playback, and you’re done.

What’s in it for you 

The digital signage remote management API lets you catch problems when they start, not after they’ve been broken for a week. With the newly-launched API you have the data you need to make informed decisions about hardware health. You’re running a digital signage network that doesn’t constantly demand your physical presence.

For teams evaluating Amazon Signage Stick enterprise deployment options, this removes one of the big friction points: “How do we actually manage these things once they’re installed?” The answer is now simpler through Amazon Signage Stick remote management.

Yodeck fully supports the Amazon Signage Stick

We’ve supported the Amazon Signage Stick as a digital signage player since launch. Now, with the Amazon Signage Stick Remote Management API available, we’ve integrated those device management capabilities too.

If you’re building something meant to run for years, not months, that stability matters.
