FAQ

Product

What is Hermetry?

An industrial IoT telemetry and SCADA platform, offered as a hosted, multi-tenant service. It connects field devices, shows their data on dashboards and SCADA screens, and acts on it with rules, alarms and alerts.

Which protocols are supported?

MQTT (with username and password), LoRaWAN, SNMP through gateways, and HTTP. See devices.

What if my devices cannot reach the internet?

Install a gateway on site. It talks to the devices locally and sends their data up to Hermetry. The Hermetry Edge product does the same over one channel for a whole site.

What is in the SCADA library?

A large symbol library in 13 industry packs, with tanks, pumps, valves, conveyors and vehicles. Every symbol exists in 2D and 3D, and 20 of them animate while the process runs. See symbols.

Can I update device firmware remotely?

Yes. Over-the-air updates roll out in stages, so you can update a few devices first and continue when they are healthy. See OTA.

How do alarms reach people?

Alarms carry a severity, can be acknowledged and remind people until someone does. Alerts reach people in the app and in linked chat apps, by e-mail to the addresses on the rule, and by SMS from a flow. See alarms.

Do I need to write code?

No. Devices, dashboards, SCADA screens, rules and alarms are all set up in the browser.

FAQ

Pricing and regions

How does pricing work?

You pay per device, with lower unit prices at higher volumes. Add-on modules are priced on their own. Enterprise plans are agreed with our sales team. See pricing.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Start a free trial from the pricing page in your region.

Which currencies do you charge in?

EUR in the EU region, USD in the US region and TRY in the Türkiye region. Prices shown include VAT.

What are the regions?

Hermetry runs as separate deployments in the EU (the default), the US and Türkiye. Your account, devices and data live in the region you choose.

Can I use my own domain?

Every customer gets a free subdomain. Custom domains are available on higher plans.

FAQ

Security and data

How are customers kept apart?

Each customer is a tenant. Separation is enforced in the database with row-level security, so one tenant's queries cannot read another tenant's rows.

Does my data leave my region?

No. Each region is a separate deployment and your data stays in the region where your account was created.

What is the AI firewall?

A security layer built into the platform. It listens to security signals from every module, scores each actor with detectors and rules, opens incidents and explains each one. See AI firewall.

Can the AI firewall switch off my equipment?

Not today: it observes, opens incidents and alerts your team; carrying out actions is in development. When it arrives, actions on devices start as suggestions a person approves.

Is user activity audited?

Yes. More than 1,200 kinds of actions are recorded in the audit log, together with who did them and when.

Do you support certificates for devices?

Yes. Devices that need certificates get them from the platform's certificate service (PKI).
