What is a developer portal and how can you leverage it?

The developer portal is a suite of tools designed to aid developers in creating, testing, debugging, and maintaining software applications. Zoho IoT's developer tools allow developers to model, visualise, and automate.

Card Image

Model

Create models of devices, assets and locations. With just one model, multiple devices or assets can be created in the app, paving way for seamless scalability.

Card Image

Visualise

Visualize asset/device data in a dashboard and analytics report. Decide features to be seen on the navigation and setup menu, assign profile roles and permissions to users.

Card Image

Automate

Automate processes with alarm rules, workflow rules, and cloud data flow. Connect edge devices easily with edge automation.

Model

One model, multiple instances

Scale your app easily with this standout feature. Create one template in the dev environment and scale the same features across all instances of the model in the user application. Build multiple instances for devices, assets, or locations, and have an option to custom build your own module with features of your choice.

Create your first model
Device Modeling

Develop one prototype to replicate multiple devices for the user

Create a device model from scratch or clone another model. Define device types such as HTTPS, MQTT, LoRa Wan, Edge Automate, and Peripheral, and allow profile permissions.

Asset Modeling

Create one blueprint to generate multiple assets for the user  

Create templates or models of your assets from scratch or clone an existing model. Define fields, data points, commands, and alarm rules for the model.

Location Modeling

Design a singular model to develop multiple locations for the user 

Create location prototypes or clone an existing model. Define fields, data points in real time , scheduled KPI, commands, and alarm rules for the model.

Develop one prototype to replicate multiple devices for the user
Custom Modeling

Design modules tailored to fit your requirements   

Build customized models from scratch without the need of templated fields or data points. Pick between custom IoT module or other modules depending on your requirements for data points and alarm rule creation.

Visualise

Enhance decision-making with a comprehensive view of your data

Explore dashboards, analytical reports, maps, themes, and re-branding to get the best of your data for informed decision-making.

Dashboard Configuration

Give your data a facelift with custom dashboard and reports 

Visualize your data in the best-suited format with customizable dashboards and analytics reports. Set up menu toggle options for dashboard operations and control set up. Assign profile roles and permissions to users in the entity.

Live tracking and Maps

Map and track your entities across locations 

Enable GPS as a data point seamlessly with Zoho IoT's developer portal. Create maps for each entity and track their GPS-enabled location in real time.

White labeling and branding

Enhance apps with personalised branding   

Your application, your brand! Make your mark with your customized brand with an option to create an logo, title bar, and custom domain URLs.

Develop one prototype to replicate multiple devices for the user

Automate

Get, set, and ready to go

Fast track your platform with automation rules for alarms, workflows, edge data flow and more.

Alarm Rules

Define alerts, actions, and threshold levels for system conditions 

From condition monitoring to customized threshold levels to automated notifications, set precise alarm rules and take a step towards predictive maintenance and security.

Workflow rules

Automate, sequence, and define rules for your workflow  

Define subsequent actions or events based on record creation, edition, or deletion based on the date or time, alarm triggers, notifications, and more. Trigger emails, webhooks, or customized alerts for the workflow.

Cloud data flow

Data that works for you  

Work with more than just extracted data with Zoho IoT's cloud data flow. Exploit data to its best form with trigger functions, logic parameters, and a wide array of devices and outputs to choose from.
