Supported protocols

All communication (sending data to and from the cloud) is done using ONLY 3 different protocols::

• MQTT
• CoAP
• HTTP - so-calledREST“

Each of these 3 protocols is good for different devices:

• MQTT - Large groups of devices that communicate with each other, or for two-way communication.
  For networks: 2G/3G/LTE/Wi-Fi/Ethernet
  
• CoAP - Battery-powered devices with limited data transmission and computing power.
  For networks: Dialup/2G/NB-IoT
  
• HTTP - A more sophisticated and larger device where the consumption and size of data transmission do not matter. On the contrary, it is ideal for transferring more demanding and larger content.
  For networks: LTE/Wi-Fi/Ethernet
  

If the customer requests communication using another protocol or their own: Specialized software needs to be developed (so-called: NORMALIZER) that converts these messages into a compatible format before the cloud can receive them.
