IoT Core Foundation

IoT Core Foundation enables devices of various protocols to connect to an IoT platform. Devices connected to IoT Core Foundation can report data to the cloud. Business systems can send commands to devices through IoT Core Foundation.

Scenarios

A unified IoT Core Foundation that acts as a bridge between devices and business systems allows you to extend device fleets across various categories and develop IoT use cases by leveraging open capabilities.

Architecture

The architecture of IoT Core Foundation is divided into five layers from bottom to top: IaaS, cloud-native PaaS, IoT Core Base, capability extensions, and application development.

• IoT Core Foundation allows you to integrate with the different IaaS models through the cloud-native PaaS.

• Devices are connected to Tuya Cube through IoT Core Base that abstracts the physical devices of different categories and protocols into device models.

• IoT Core Base offers a range of features including device connectivity and control, data reporting and collection, and automation. The security management service secures data, devices, and systems.

• The capability extensions layer allows you to extend capabilities on top of IoT Core Base as needed.

• The application development layer provides API gateway, message gateway, and App SDK to support application development and integration.

  

With the microservice approach, each component is an independent IoT service, making it possible to build applications flexibly and quickly.

Decoupling the frontend from the backend enables easy scaling up and out when you integrate with operation and management backend and mobile apps.

• The backend processes business logic using APIs.
• The frontend takes care of the interaction between users and applications. This facilitates development efficiency and improves system performance.
