Adding devices with connectors

Connectors enable you to create a device with built‑in behaviors that allow it to communicate with a network easily.

When creating devices at TagoIO, there are different ways to allow them to send and receive data through connectors:

  1. It can be done directly using MQTT or HTTPS methods with our APIs, where one Device token per device is required to grant access.
  2. When using external services from providers (e.g., LoRaWAN, Sigfox, or cellular), it is necessary to generate an Authorization per group or application.

That is why you need to select the right connector when creating your device at TagoIO: to take advantage of the integrations already implemented with these services.

Connector functions​

Connectors may provide one or more of the following functions:

  • Interface with the middleware that connects with the provider when necessary.
  • Present logo, name, description, and tags for the device.
  • Add payload parsers in the device (optional).
