Build the application for your IoT solution – without programming

The software architecture of the Squid.link gateways offers numerous possibilities, allowing you to get a tailored IoT solution. When it comes to application development, we have made it simple for you to build your application on top of the Squid.link platform with the Squid Smart App.

By using the Squid Smart App, a middleware application, you will configure application behavior instead of programming it. The time saved on application development means a shorter time to market of your solution.

Configure your application via Squid Smart App

When using the Squid Smart App, you only have to configure the settings and actions of the devices included in your solution through easy-to-read templates instead of programming these.

The Squid Smart App provides a REST API, and every device connected to the Squid.link gateway is modeled as a resource in the API. To identify available resources, the Squid Smart App relies on templates. The templates define how each device should be configured.

When you integrate a device into your solution through the API, the application will discover the device and make an attempt to match the device to a template. When a match is found, the API will generate the data points defined in the template and apply the configuration settings to the device.

The fast track to the mass roll-out of your solution

Since you do not have to spend time on low-level protocols, such as Zigbee, you will save a great amount of time on the development of your application. In this sense, the Squid Smart App allows you to move quickly from the start of your project to field tests and eventually to mass roll-out. With the short time to market of your solution, you’ll experience fast return-on-investment and be able to outpace your competitors.
