Managing your IoT fleet with sshreach.me.

The Problem:

  1. Your company makes IoT devices, or
  2. you need to maintain a fleet of IoT devices
and you have to occasionally access them to perform some automated tasks like upgrading or maintaining the system. Since these devices are usually behind the firewall, they are difficult to reach.

Our Solution:

  • With our dedicated server plan, you can connect up to 5.000 devices on one server.
  • Furthermore, our API offers an automated solution to create a unique client for each of your devices and allows you to script and automate your maintenance tasks for your devices.
  • Our per-server IP whitelisting adds another layer of security so that only whitelisted ip addresses can access the devices when the tunnel is open.
  • For computers with low memory and processor resources our python script supports dropbear SSH clients.

You can create a tunnel for your devices in just a few steps.

  1. Get your api key from your key management page.
  2. Prepare your IoT device OS image to call create_new_client and get_client_script on the first boot, then set up the received script to start on every boot.
  3. You can download a list of all clients by clicking on the Download client info button on your client list page. You will receive a json-formatted list of all your clients that you can put in your database.
  4. When the time comes to do some maintenance on your devices, you can loop through all your clients and call connect api function, do the maintenance and then disconnect
