Backend Processes (Develop → Backend Processes) let you run custom server-side logic for your product — code that executes on the platform, not on the device. Use them for scheduled jobs, data processing, conditional alerts, and other automation that shouldn’t live in firmware.

​
Creating a process

Click New and define it across three tabs:
1

General

  • Process Name — e.g. “Daily Data Cleanup”
  • Description — what the process does
  • Trigger Type — how it runs (e.g. Manual, scheduled)
2

Code

Write the logic the process runs.

Examples

Start from a ready-made example instead of a blank editor.
Then Save Process.

​
Trigger types

A process can run manually (you trigger it) or on a schedule (it runs automatically at set times) — pick the trigger type on the General tab.

​
Good uses

  • Clean up or aggregate stored data on a schedule
  • Check a condition across devices and send an alert
  • Bridge to an external service when something happens
