IOT Device Manager — Security & Device Management Update

IOT Device Manager application has been enhanced with more security and Device management functionality. This update is supported in the On-demand version and the self hosted platform.

Instant Command:

Most IOT Devices that connect to the IOT Device Manager will send events and at the same time listen to specific commands for receiving instructions from the manager application. The manager at anytime send commands to device to active some tasks or manage them. The new update has been added with an option to send commands to specific device or a group of device which listen to a command.

Authentication & Access Privilege:

The new update allows you to create multiple Authentication keys for a particular set of IOT devices and also allow users to set access rights like Read/Write, Read Only and Write Only.

The Sensors which just sends data to the IOT Device Manager can be allowed to use the Write only keys while an actuator valve which turns on and off flow of liquids can be used with a Read Only key. The new functionality allows right keys to be used as required for enhanced security.

The Device manager also provides an option to disable a particular authentication key inactive in case of emergency or suspicious connections and re enable once the alarms are cleared.

Enhanced User Interface:

The User Interface has been enhanced with a better dashboard and a cleaner look and Feel.

Powerful API for Integration:

We have added a few apis that will help build the Mobile application or integrate any application to the IOT Platform. You can download the PDF which contains the API Specification here. These API will also work on the custom hosted servers and you need to use your domain instead of https://devicemanager.bevywise.com in the API URL.

With an objective to allow users to easily SignUp and manage their devices, we have set up the Device manager in the Non SSL mode for the TCP and the Web socket Communication.

The Device manager can be customised and hosted in your Brand on your servers. Request a Quote if you are looking fora platform for privately managing your customers devices.
