Siemens LOGO! Plugin Version 1.0.0-1

In the ever-evolving landscape of IoT, the ability to integrate diverse devices and platforms easily is crucial for building robust and flexible systems.

Today, we’re excited to highlight the potential of integrating Siemens LOGO! with Thinger.io through MQTT, enabling users to take advantage of the strengths of both platforms to create powerful IoT solutions.

Siemens LOGO! is a highly versatile logic module known for its simplicity, flexibility, and reliability. Widely used in industrial automation, building control, and various other applications, Siemens LOGO! allows for easy implementation of control tasks without requiring extensive programming knowledge.

From Thinger.io we've developed the template for connecting and auto provisioning Siemens LOGO! logic modules directly with the platform, providing a non-blank start for the final configuration of the project.

The plugin provides a first step to be able to integrate a fleet of Siemens LOGO! controllers, while allowing the ad-hoc configuration that best suits the user's needs.

It provides the following settings:

  • A device_information property, that will be used to set the device information manually (firmware version, serial number, etc).
  • A shadow property, that will be used to store the current state of the device.
  • A siemens_logo data bucket, that will be used to store the data sent by the Siemens LOGO! controller.
  • A up and down device resources, to control the Siemens LOGO! controller.
  • An autoprovision rule, that will be used to create the device in the Thinger.io platform automatically.
  • Basic product functions to parse the shadow of the device and handling sending commands to the Siemens LOGO! controller.
  • A preconfigured dashboard to visualize relevant data of each Siemens LOGO! controller.

As we continue integrating Thinger.io with other IoT infrastructure partners, we are excited to announce our new plugin for connecting devices from the LORIOT LoRaWAN® infrastructure server to Thinger.io.

With LORIOT’s support, we’ve made it easy for users to relay device messages into Thinger.io while automating device provisioning, bucket creation, and payload decoding. This simplifies the integration process and ensures a smooth data flow between platforms.

The full installation instructions of the plugin can be found here.

New Milesight AM103 Integration

Alongside this plugin, we’re also introducing a new Product Template designed specifically for Milesight AM103 devices, ensuring perfect compatibility with LORIOT.
