Custom protocol plugin

You can use a custom protocol plugin to integrate your proprietary IoT protocols into the managed integrations for AWS IoT Device Management ecosystem. Through well-defined SDK interfaces, you can onboard devices, define capabilities, and handle real-time control flows while maintaining full compatibility with managed integrations and hub SDK components.

The following lists discusses the key features of the custom protocol plugin.

Data model customization

Define your own AWS data model schemas and upload them to managed integrations during the provisioning flow. You can use these schemas later in your workflows.

Flexible plugin implementation

• Build your own plugin component using Hub SDK client.

• Implement separate plugins for different functionalities, such as provisioning and control, or create a unified client for both.

• Maintain a clear boundary between managed integrations assets and your own assets such as middleware stacks, for decoupled and development-friendly code logic implementation.

Backward compatibility

For existing customers, smoothly onboard your new custom protocol while also keeping existing radio types working as-is.

The following diagram illustrates the custom protocol plugin architecture.
