Connhex Control

A complete device management application, straight out of the box as soon as you install Connhex. Use it to debug your application while you're building it, to monitor and manage devices once they have been deployed to the field.

What's inside

Everything you need to operate a fleet.
Without writing a tool from scratch.

Identity & access

Identity and Access Management

Connhex Control allows you to manage identities: inspect attributes, check email verification, monitor sessions, block users. All with a single click.

You'll enjoy the flexibility to create new organizations - also known as tenants - and roles. Group users to form teams, assign any user custom permissions through policies - because we all get that special customer that just needs one more thing before being ready to buy, right?

Connectables

Manage connectables

Connhex Control features a complete device management system: create, inspect, update or remove edges and devices in seconds.

Thanks to its integration with Connhex Manufacturing and Remote Init, any connectable is also associated to its configurations and manufacturing information.

Command center

Command center

Connhex Control gives you a feel for what's going on with any connectable in a second.

You can inspect edge services to know their status and monitor traffic to ensure communication is smooth. You can also send messages, run commands, open a remote shell, download configurations, record manufacturing events: the list goes on and on.

OTA firmware

Firmware models and releases

From a dedicated section, you can create new models to group devices in families.

Every model can be associated with multiple firmware releases: Connhex Control handles versioning, update, rollback and compatibility requirements.

Certificates

Certificates made easy

Managing certificates properly can be a nightmare.

Trust us, we feel your pain - we've been there, many times. That's why all certificates come with an Intermediate CA - you'll be able to block groups of devices in a single click - and you get a user interface to issue, revoke and download certificates.

Remote terminal

A tunnel to the edge

Open a remote Linux shell on any Edge.

Combining Connhex Edge with Connhex Control allows us to mimick an SSH connection through MQTT. It's sufficient for field devices to be powered on and connected to the network for you to remotely access it.

Since the tunnel is completely independent from the custom firmware on the edge, this is perfect for recovering devices when something goes wrong.

The control plane your fleet deserves.

Connhex Control ships with every Connhex Enterprise install. No extra setup, no separate billing.
