Connecting well-known devices
You can check the Devices library section to explore how to connect widely used devices to IoT Hub.
Built-in transport protocols
The built-in transport protocol implementations are applicable for devices that communicate over those protocols and are able to connect directly to IoT Hub.
- MQTT API reference
- MQTT Sparkplug API reference
- CoAP API reference
- HTTP API reference
- LwM2M API reference
- SNMP API reference
Most of the protocols above support JSON, Protobuf or own data format. This is the best option for new devices when you have control over the firmware.
IoT Gateway
IoT Hub IoT Gateway helps to connect devices that are located in the local network and do not have access to the internet or use specific non-IP protocols. IoT Gateway supports MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus, BLE, HTTP, CAN, BACnet, ODBC, SNMP and other protocols. The gateway converts the data from devices to internal IoT Hub format and upload it over MQTT to the platform.
LoRaWAN
IoT Hub supports ChirpStack and many other network servers via Integrations. For example: TheThingsNetwork, TheThingsIndustries, LORIOT, Actility ThingPark or any other network server that supports the webhooks or mqtt. Big advantage of IoT Hub integrations is the ability to define custom data converter functions.
Sigfox
IoT Hub supports Sigfox integration out-of-the-box.
NB IoT and other protocols
IoT Hub supports many Integrations that cover most of the devices on the market. Please contact us - service4iot@magenta.at if you need help to connect your device.
