Give a REST API to systems that wouldn’t dream of having one

Now all the new equipment is connected, integrated, automated…
But what about those systems that are not ready to talk to the rest?
What about those systems that work well, but don’t have a modern REST API?
Most of the time, the answer has been to resign. Or replace them. Or set up an external gateway that complicates more than it solves.

But in Adquio we do not believe in limits.
And that is why we have turned Adquio.API into an open door also for all those systems that were left out of the game.

Connecting old controllers with Adquio.API

What is Adquio.API and why is it so powerful?

Adquio.API is our REST interface in the cloud.

It allows access from any software, anywhere in the world, to all the data managed by Adquio controllers.

So far so normal: if you have an Adquio, you can read and write data via API, integrate it into any external system and take your automation to the next level.

But here comes the revolutionary part:

As Adquio controllers communicate with a multitude of industrial and home automation protocols, you can use Adquio.API as a REST API for equipment that does not have one.

Yes, you read that right.

Protocols supported by Adquio

Adquio controllers are like tireless polyglots.
They speak Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, MQTT, Casambi, Lora (probes), HTTP, and more.

This means that you can connect Adquio with:

🔗 Old solar inverters

🔗 Air conditioning via Modbus

🔗 Casambi Lighting

🔗 Equipment with BACnet MSTP

🔗 Lora sensors without connectivity

🔗 Closed SCADA systems

🔗 Anything that speaks any of these languages.

And once they are connected… Wham!

All these devices can automatically expose their data (or receive commands) via modern REST APIs thanks to Adquio.API.

What opportunities does this open up?

This functionality completely transforms the game. See what you can achieve:

Integrates what seemed unintegrable

Older, proprietary systems or systems without IP connectivity can now be part of a modern ecosystem.

📊

Create dashboards, apps or BI with real data

From Power BI to Grafana to your customized mobile app, you can now use data from your entire system.

♻️

Avoid replacing valuable and functional hardware

Do you have a well-functioning system but no modern connectivity? Give it new life without replacing it.

🪄

Offers digital services over traditional infrastructures

Ideal for companies that want to offer added value without changing the entire base system.

♾️

Transform your facilities into living APIs

From anywhere in the world, any software will be able to query or modify data as if that equipment had its own native API.

And what do you need to achieve it?

Very little.

An Adquio controller (Mini, Micro Server, etc), depending on the size of the project

Connect it to the system you want to “APIzar” using one of the supported protocols

Activate Adquio.API and start consuming (or sending) data via API REST

No complications, no developers, no complex code.

This is not the future. It is now.

For years, talk of “REST APIs” was synonymous with new systems, cloud, IoT…
But what about everything that is already installed, running, operational?

With Adquio.API you don’t have to choose between old and new.

Now you can have it all:

The stability of the current system + The flexibility of a modern API.

Real examples (yes, we are already doing it)

Companies that have integrated their Casambi luminaires into remote control platforms

Properties that have connected HVAC systems via Modbus to web-based applications

Energy managers that obtain historical data from inverters without native connectivity

Partners delivering customized mobile apps with total control

Adquio.API opens a new chapter

We transform your equipment into connected systems.

We create bridges between the past and the future.

And we do it with joy, with ingenuity… and without complications.

Because if there is something that defines us at Adquio, it is that we love to break the rules.
And help you do it too.
