[SOLVED] Python-Shell in node.js not running in Systemd service

Intro

I am trying to have an alexa communicate with a dragonboard to turn on an LED. I am using aws' iot core javascript sdk to listen for mqtt calls and python-shell to execute a python script to blink the LED. I modified device-example.js to look as follows

device-example.js

const cmdLineProcess = require('./lib/cmdline');

var PythonShell = require('python-shell')


//begin module

function processTest(args) {
   //

   const device = deviceModule({
      keyPath: args.privateKey,

      .on('connect', function() {
         console.log('connect');
      });

      .on('close', function() {

         console.log('message', topic, payload.toString());
     if(payload.toString() === 'on') {
         PythonShell.run('blink_led.py', { uid:0 }, function(err, result) {
         if(err) throw err;
             console.log('finished');
             });
     }
      });

}

module.exports = cmdLineProcess;

if (require.main === module) {
   cmdLineProcess('connect to the AWS IoT service and publish/subscribe to topics using MQTT, test modes 1-2',
      process.argv.slice(2), processTest);
}

I wrote a simple script to execute the javascript

start.sh

# stop script on error
set -e
# run pub/sub sample app using certificates downloaded in package
printf "\nRunning pub/sub sample application...\n"
node node_modules/aws-iot-device-sdk/examples/device-example.js --host-name=a1v3w5qj5oveq1.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com --private-key=/home/linaro/software/aws-iot/rube.private.key --client-certificate=/home/linaro/software/aws-iot/rube.cert.pem --ca-certificate=/home/linaro/software/aws-iot/root-CA.crt

Question

When I execute the script, every component functions, the script receives mqtt calls, then turns on the LED. When I try to turn the script into a basic systemd service, the python is not executed. The systemd script is below

iot.service

[Unit]
Description=AWS IOT Listener
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=linaro
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env sudo /home/linaro/software/aws-iot/start.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As a service, MQTT calls are received, but the python is not called at all. No error is thrown. How can I have the python be called when the script is called as a systemd service?

Additional Information: System: Debian jessie

Result of running ./start.sh (not service)

Running pub/sub sample application...
connect
message topic_1 on
finished

"finished" comes from the python script

Result of running as a service
