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
Develco Products 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.
Thermostats: With smart thermostats, users can remote control and automate the heating in their home, enabling them to easily turn it down where it’s not needed and making their energy consumption more efficient.
Light bulbs: Smart light bulbs make it easy to ensure lights are only turned on when needed – reducing energy consumption.
Switches and dimmers: Include intelligent switches and dimmers in your solution to enable your customers to easily manage their lights at home without having to use their smartphones.
Open platform ideal for energy solutions
