The Smart Ecosystem combines smart hardware components with the SCHURTER Cloud. By using Smart Connectors, customers can easily and securely connect their devices to the SCHURTER Cloud and their own cloud.
Smart Connectors are configured using the Android or iOS Smart App to connect to a Wi-Fi access point. They then connect to the SCHURTER Cloud via MQTT. The Smart Connectors are managed with the Smart Dashboard Web App.
Customer devices communicate with the Smart Connectors via a serial interface or digital inputs and outputs.
The Smart API provides all the endpoints required to integrate a custom cloud into the SCHURTER Cloud.
However, custom apps should not be integrated directly via the Smart API, but via a custom API, as the SCHURTER Cloud knows nothing about the customer's users and the Smart API only allows server-to-server authentication with API keys.
