API

The Lumiring access control system provides open integration capabilities, offering both REST API and MQTT protocols to suit your project’s technical needs. This flexibility allows you to easily integrate accumulated key usage data and event logs into any accounting, monitoring, or access management system.

For developers and system integrators, our MQTT protocol offers advanced capabilities far beyond traditional APIs—including real-time bi-directional communication, persistent device connections, and exceptional performance in large-scale or low-power environments.

Lumiring MQTT streams data effortlessly into popular platforms such as Node-RED, Home Assistant, openHAB, and other IoT ecosystems, enabling automation, real-time alerts, and seamless control logic with minimal configuration.

Whether you’re syncing logs to a central dashboard, triggering automated workflows, or integrating with cloud analytics, Lumiring’s architecture ensures your access control data becomes an active part of your smart infrastructure.

Lumiring offers three integration options, engineered to match various levels of system complexity and deployment scale:

🔹 MQTT Integration – Our most advanced and scalable option. Ideal for IoT-heavy, real-time environments, MQTT allows bi-directional messaging with low latency and minimal bandwidth. It’s natively compatible with platforms like Node-RED, SCADA, Home Assistant, and supports both cloud and on-premise MQTT brokers. Features include real-time event publishing, device control, secure data flows, and structured JSON-based API messaging for seamless automation.

🔹 REST API Integration – A fast and straightforward method to expand your existing systems. It allows web-based interaction with Lumiring devices for data retrieval and event management, requiring minimal development effort.

🔹 Cloud API Integration – Designed for enterprise-grade infrastructures with multiple subsystems. This option integrates Lumiring devices into the UNIMACS cloud ecosystem, offering centralized control, remote configuration, and complete system orchestration.

• REST API – Simple, Effective, Ready to Go

  Lumiring’s REST API allows quick and seamless integration with your existing security and control systems. It’s perfect for scenarios where fast setup, simplicity, and basic system enhancement are priorities.

  With minimal coding, the REST API supports:

  • Access log synchronization

  • User or credential management

  • Remote device control and monitoring

  It’s ideal for projects that need compatibility with third-party software and dashboards—without reworking existing infrastructure.

  For more advanced, real-time capabilities like event-driven automation, massive device management, and bi-directional control, we recommend pairing or upgrading to our MQTT integration.

Integrate Without Disrupting Legacy Systems

Lumiring controllers are engineered for modular deployment into existing access control environments. There’s no need for system-wide replacement or architectural overhauls.

Each controller features wired I/O interfaces for third-party equipment, supporting seamless integration with legacy readers, relays, sensors, or panels.

Configuration is performed via the embedded web interface or MQTT/REST API, allowing remote setup, real-time data exchange, and flexible integration logic—across Ethernet or Wi-Fi networks.

Ideal for expanding system functionality while preserving your current investment in infrastructure.
