B2B and Custom Integrations

Rowi is proud to offer robust integration capabilities right off the shelf through REST API and MQTT. However, we recognise that some scenarios call for custom firmware to seamlessly connect Rowi with specific ecosystems, like AWS, MS Azure, or Google GCP. These situations might benefit from specially tailored integration procedures, advanced security mechanisms, and specific timing parameters. We are pleased to offer our custom integration services to meet these unique needs, even for smaller deployments.
