We’re happy to announce the official release of the Connhex CLI: a powerful new tool designed specifically for device manufacturers using our Connhex IoT suite.
This command-line interface opens up new possibilities for integrating Connhex into your production workflows, testing procedures and manufacturing pipelines: let’s get to the details!
Designed for manufacturer workflows
The CLI complements our existing provisioning options:
- Connhex Control for manual, UI-based operations
- Connhex API for programmatic integration
- And now, Connhex CLI for command-line efficiency
This provides complete flexibility in how you integrate Connhex into your manufacturing processes, whether you’re producing dozens or thousands of devices.
Why a CLI for device manufacturers?
Over the years, we’ve learnt that device manufacturers need tools that fit seamlessly into their existing processes.
While our Control interface handles most administrative operations, manufacturing environments often benefit from automation and command-line capabilities.
The new Connhex CLI has been designed to:
- Streamline operations that need to be performed multiple times
- Integrate Connhex directly into production workflows and testing procedures
- Support automated testing environments with scriptable commands
Powerful features for manufacturing
The Connhex CLI is particularly valuable during the device manufacturing phase, when you need to provision multiple devices efficiently. With the Connhex CLI, you can easily:
- Bulk provision devices from CSV or JSON files
- Customize manufacturing data according to your schema
- Automate the digital twin creation for each physical device
Getting started
Getting started with the Connhex CLI is straightforward:
- Download the pre-built binaries or compile your own with
make clifrom our GitHub repository - Authenticate with your Connhex instance using
connhex-cli login - Start provisioning devices, either with a CSV or JSON file containing the complete device list.
What’s Next?
The Connhex CLI release is part of our commitment to providing IoT tools specifically designed for device manufacturers.
Future releases will include additional features, like devices validation before the testing process completes: to get notified of upcoming releases, you can subscribe to our newsletter or follow the Connhex CLI repository on GitHub!
