MQTT API integration diagram for Lumiring access control controllers — customer-configured via documented APIs

Lumiring sets new standards in physical security through advanced IoT, automation, and IT protocols. At the core is our support for MQTT—a highly efficient, lightweight protocol perfect for access control systems. MQTT enables fast, secure, and scalable communication with minimal code. Integration is effortless with tools like Node-RED, Home Assistant, and other MQTT-compatible platforms.

Lumiring devices are professional-grade systems designed for system integrators and technically proficient users.

API

Lumiring controllers provide open integration capabilities through the MQTT API. Build your integration your way, using our documented APIs.

For developers and system integrators to implement, our MQTT protocol offers advanced capabilities far beyond traditional APIs…

Lumiring MQTT connects with popular platforms such as Node-RED, openHAB, and other IoT ecosystems, enabling automation, real-time alerts, and control logic configured and built by the integrator.

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. As an MQTT-native device, it is compatible with any MQTT broker and any MQTT client platform, including Node-RED, SCADA, and openHAB. Customer-side configuration is required.

🔹 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 AllDoors cloud ecosystem, offering centralized control, remote configuration, and complete system orchestration.

  1. REST API – Simple, Effective, Custom Engagement.

    Lumiring’s REST API allows quick and seamless integration with your existing security and control systems as a custom engagement. 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.
