How to Setup and Test a Relay in CIS in Just a Few Clicks

Relays (aka Webhooks/HTTP Integration) enables CIS to send real-time decoded messages to your app. Updates are triggered by messages received from your devices and pushed to your app via HTTP requests.
Relays are configured at device type level. Therefore, a Relay will process and push all sensor messages received from devices associated with its device type.
To setup a Relay integration, navigate to a device type and click Relay Configurations.

If you wish to edit a Relay or see the response CIS has received from your endpoint, click the name of your relay in the Relay Configurations list.



On the Relay Configuration Details page, you can edit, delete or disable a relay.
Click the arrows to see details of the message CIS has sent to your endpoint.



Relays vs APIs – What is the Difference?


Relays push decoded sensor messages to your app in real-time and with APIs, you pull decoded sensor messages from CIS. While APIs require constant polling, Relays sends messages as they are received by CIS.
