Supla Device

Abstract

1. Introduction

supla-device supports several usage paths depending on your needs.

supla-device is an open-source IoT device library / SDK for building custom SUPLA-compatible devices.

supla-device is a software foundation for implementing custom smart home devices that work with SUPLA.

2. Objective

Embedded device SDK for building SUPLA-compatible smart home devices.

This project demonstrates how C++, Arduino, ESP32 can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

4. Technology Stack

• we can assist with device integration and architecture,
• we can help deliver production-ready software,
• we can support compliance with applicable regulations,
• Available via Arduino Library Manager
• Works with Arduino IDE and PlatformIO
• Ideal for DIY projects and prototyping
• No prior embedded experience required
• You write and control your own device logic

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C++ compiler (g++)
• Target board (e.g. Arduino, ESP32) where applicable
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/SUPLA/supla-device.git
cd supla-device

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
