What is IoTBackend

IoTBackend is a platform for managing IoT devices remotely.

It helps you:

• Register devices in one dashboard
• See device status and telemetry
• Receive user telemetry and user events from devices
• Send remote commands
• Deliver OTA firmware updates
• Manage devices via API

Build Scenarios (Upcoming)

Scenario-based automations are currently in development.

Planned examples:

• React to a user event and trigger a device command
• Build update rollout flows for selected devices
• Track device health trends from telemetry and runtime fields

What IoTBackend does not do

IoTBackend is not an online IDE or compiler.

You still:

• Write firmware locally
• Build firmware locally
• Flash devices locally
• Handle your own third-party libraries and compile errors

Managed and unmanaged devices

A device is managed when its firmware includes the IoTBackend core logic and topics.

If you flash fully custom firmware without that integration, the device becomes unmanaged and will no longer appear as an active managed device in the dashboard.
