User interfaces

Connhex is dedicated to device manufacturers. The web, mobile and desktop apps the final users will be using represent the manufacturer's brand. They are the face of the company, the user experience the company wants to provide. They should feel seamless and natural, and they should be consistent with the rest of the company's offering.

Connhex is headless​

Connhex doesn't provide any final user interface. We focus entirely on backend performance, reliability, and scalability, and you build the application layer on top. This is a conscious decision: the final user interface should reflect your brand and be tailored to your users' needs. Connhex fades into the background, and the manufacturer's brand is the one that shines.

Think of Connhex as a set of APIs that handle the difficult IoT infrastructure for you. Your frontend budget should be spent on things your users see and interact with, not on reinventing the backend.

We have developed our templates and use them alongside Connhex to create complete IoT applications, but there are no constraints. We can help you create your own, either through our engineering services or through our network of software houses that use Connhex for the heavy lifting. Otherwise, you can develop user interfaces in-house or turn to any other contractor.

Interfaces included in the Enterprise plan​

The Enterprise plan includes two powerful interfaces designed for internal use.

Connhex Control​

We strongly believe your frontend budget should be spent on things your users see and interact with. Internal tools should be:

  • powerful: they should integrate with your existing systems and allow complete control over the entire device lifecycle, from production to field support.
  • standard: they should be economical to maintain over time, and they should be easy to use.

That's why the Enterprise plan includes Connhex Control, a powerful back-office system that allows you to manage your devices and users. It comes in handy for:

  • customer support
  • debug
  • device registries
  • monitoring

Learn more on the Connhex Control page.

Connhex Copilot​

The Enterprise plan also includes Connhex Copilot, an AI-powered assistant designed to help you get the most out of your Connhex instance.

Learn more on the Connhex Copilot page.

Available for everyone: Connhex CLI​

The Connhex CLI is available on all plans. It is especially useful to:

  • speed up operations that need to be performed multiple times
  • integrate Connhex into a device production or testing flow
