The ESP8266 module that is used by the static tags was set up to publish messages to an AWS service using the MQTT protocol. The image below shows the output of the serial monitor after the ESP8266 connects to Wi-Fi and sends a few messages over the MQTT connection.
The image below shows the AWS console where the messages are received along with a timestamp.
These messages can then be directed to a DynamoDB table for further processing. This approach will be used to handle the data that is received from each static tag.
