What is an IoT platform with AI built in?

An IoT platform connects devices to software so you can register devices, view real-time data, and control permitted device functions. Firmngin supports Arduino-compatible boards and Linux devices through the Python SDK. AI agents can inspect device state and logs, operate controls you permit, and manage automations using natural language. You choose their model, instructions, and tool permissions.

Frequently asked questions

platform

what is Firmngin?

Firmngin is an AIoT platform to connect devices, manage fleets, automate workflows, deploy firmware, and manage Device Billing from one cloud dashboard.

which hardware is supported?

firmngin supports a wide range of connected devices, from microcontrollers to Linux-compatible hardware. see the supported hardware list in the docs.

can i separate teams or customer deployments?

yes. workspaces provide an organizational boundary for devices and platform operations. available collaboration limits depend on the selected plan.

can ai agents operate devices?

ai experiences can use platform context and exposed tools through native workflows or mcp-compatible clients. available actions depend on the configured tool access and permissions.

devices

do you support ota firmware updates?

yes. upload firmware builds, deploy to selected devices or batches, and track rollout status in real time from the dashboard.

what happens when a device goes offline?

device availability is reported from the live device connection flow. dashboards and operational views can distinguish online, offline, and unknown availability.

how are device credentials protected?

each device uses its own credentials. secure messaging capabilities protect data exchanged between supported firmware, cloud services, and dashboards.

pricing

is there a free plan?

yes. every account gets a monthly free allowance covering a number of devices and messages. usage beyond that is charged from a prepaid usd credit balance, so you only pay for what you actually run.

how is usage and pricing calculated?

each billable feature has a unit price — a price per device per month and a price per 1,000 messages. the rates shown on this page are the rates the billing engine applies, never a separate estimate. devices are charged for the full month in advance; messages are charged as they are used.

when is a message counted?

a message is counted when it is delivered to a subscriber, not when it is published. one message delivered to three subscribers counts as three messages, because that is three deliveries. retries of the same delivery count once, and rejected or undelivered messages are not counted.

what happens to my unused allowance at the end of a billing period?

the free allowance resets at the start of each period and unused allowance does not carry over. credit you have paid for does not expire and stays on your balance until it is used.

what happens when my balance runs out?

usage inside the free allowance keeps working. once the allowance and the balance are both exhausted, the affected features are switched to read-only after a grace period until you top up. your data and devices are not deleted.

is firmngin a payment gateway for device billing?

no. firmngin is not a payment gateway. we use licensed payment gateway services (PJP Kategori Izin 1) authorized by Bank Indonesia to create, process, and accept payments.

do i need verification to create transactions as a merchant?

i am not located in indonesia. can i use device billing?

no. device billing is currently available only in indonesia.
