Account linking between Alexa Skill and AWS IoT

Hello,

I'm developing Alexa Skill that uses Smart Home Skill API and AWS Lambda and then connects to physical device via AWS IoT platform.

AWS IoT isn't my platform it's Amazon's. So what should I type in account linking section so AWS Lambda can connect to AWS IoT?

I read theese tutorials:

https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/post/Tx3828JHC7O9GZ9/Using-Alexa-Skills-Kit-and-AWS-IoT-to-Voice-Control-Connected-Devices

https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/post/Tx3CX1ETRZZ2NPC/Alexa-Account-Linking-5-Steps-to-Seamlessly-Link-Your-Alexa-Skill-with-Login-wit

However they don't cover the subject.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,

Łukasz

Could you explain a bit more of what you are trying to do? Is the AWS IoT device that you will be controlling in the customers AWS account or your AWS account? If it is in your AWS account you can probably use IAM credentials or the IAM role for your lambda function to get access to the device, but if it is the customers I don't think there's any good way to do that at the moment.
