Device Certification

Benefits

For Customers

The certification standard together with the device catalogue form an established channel for Device Partners to share their current offering of technical device integrations for Cumulocity.

• Certification is evidence for a correct device behaviour with Cumulocity
• Description of Supported device management capabilities
• Annual Re-Certification for integrations is required to maintain a “Certified Device” status
• Device Catalogue data is up-to-date by design as certification results are automatically published

For Partners

Your offering will be visible to hundreds of Cumulocity customers, partners, re-sellers and our own teams working on IoT projects. Customers trust and rely on certified integrations for faster time-to-market and reduced risks.

• Certification Standard is well established and trusted by Cumulocity customers
• Certification is self-service and accessible via your free Cumulocity partner tenant
• Your certification results are automatically synced with your entries on the device catalogue
• Clear guidance on integrating devices and mitigated risk of unintended behaviour
• Certification of functioning integrations only requires minutes (not hours or days)
• Partner tenants are running on latest Cumulocity release allowing early error detection and correction

Certification Tests

The certification tool is available to all device partners and supports the integration development phase with rich feedback until the desired certification scope is correctly implemented.

The Foundations Modules cover exclusively unidirectional communications with Cumulocity such as the descriptions of the device it self and sending at least either measurements, or alarms or events. The Optional Modules cover all available device management capabilities that one can use with Cumulocity. This flexibility ensures an easy entry to achieve a certified status while allowing an individual integration scope.

Certified Device Logo

Certified device integrations comply with the requirements for Cumulocity and follow best practices. They are provided and maintained by the Device Partner associated to the device.

Devices holding this logo have an integration that was certified within the last 365 days. Older certifications remain valid for the combination of hardware, device firmware, and Cumulocity version they have been created for. A transparent status quo is always a great starting point to engage into a conversation with a Device Partner.

The Catalogue for Device Integrations

The certification results are publicly accessible for each device. You can filter on Supported Cumulocity function, see all past certifications, and download the latest certifications.

We invite you to explore our catalogue for device integrations that is enriched with device certification data, device connectivity videos for a first-hand impression and integration documentations and a quick and uncomplicated way to contact our partners.
