Expand the functionality of your smart energy solution by integrating 3rd party devices

The IoT industry is constantly evolving, and new products continuously enter the market. This makes it nearly impossible to find a vendor that offers all the devices you might want to include in your energy management system.

Therefore, it is highly critical that a smart energy solution is open for the integration of third-party devices. This also ensures the solution stays future-proof and new products can be added along the way.

Choose from a wide range of compatible products

Onics has already integrated a range of third-party energy products with the Squid.link gateways which you can use in your solution.

If you want to include other products, the gateways’ open platform makes it easy for you to integrate them via standard or custom communication protocols.

Compatible products include:

‍

‍

Meters: Directly connect water and heat meters to your energy management system to easily get real-time consumption data.
