Google SSO, AWS IoT Core Connector, Help Cards, and Network List duplication
Onomondo’s top priorities are to make the Onomondo Platform easier to use and to improve system security.
Since you’re working in IoT, you know a thing or two about attack vectors already. As we do more and more of our work online, our sensitive information is getting more and more exposed. We strive to help our users tackle this issue, which is why we are introducing single sign-on (SSO) for the Onomondo Platform, allowing users to consolidate their logins into a single set of credentials and strengthening enterprise security.
AWS IoT Core is AWS’ IoT offering, and in order for devices to be utilized in AWS IoT Core, you will normally need to install an AWS SDK on your device in addition to generating keys and provisioning each device before it can be utilized in AWS IoT Core. But Onomondo aims to help users alleviate this step through a Connector update.
Making sure users can interact with the platform efficiently and confidently is a priority for our team. That’s why we’re also rolling out help cards on key pages along with adding new functionality to Network Lists with a duplicate list option. We want our users to get the most out of their experience, whether it entails utilizing the platform to its full potential or effortlessly adopting newly launched features.
What is new in this update
Introducing Google SSO on Onomondo Platform
With this Google SSO implementation, users can now log into the Onomondo platform using their Google account.
SSO helps reduce security risks by getting rid of the need for end users to remember many different login credentials. This makes it less likely that your credentials will be stolen and that you will be attacked by phishing.
The growth of cloud apps and services has led to enterprise fragmentation, which is a problem for both IT and end users. IT must manage the enterprise’s multiple programs as well as deal with shadow IT, and employees are required to use multiple apps and websites for their various tasks. SSO helps solve enterprise fragmentation problems by cutting down on the number of unique logins each employee needs. SSO can also automate the process of adding and removing users from systems, which makes it even less likely that someone will get in without permission.
Launching the AWS IoT Core Connector
With this update to our Connector, users are now able to minimize device logic utilizing the power of the AWS IoT Core. Onomondo’s platform removes the complications other connectivity solution providers add to their products. Removing all IoT cloud integrations and encryption logic off devices and into our Core Network releases the leash from your business.
The first time your device goes online, it will automatically be provisioned, and users will be able to see the device in their AWS IoT Core and see that it is online. When the device starts to send data packets (TCP, UDP, and ICMP), the payloads are sent as events to your AWS IoT Core without the need to install anything on your device, and you don’t need to generate or keep any certificates because Onomondo handles everything on your behalf.

Introducing Help Cards
While Onomondo is committed to continuously implementing new features and improvements to our product, we also understand that it is time-consuming for our users to adopt new features into their practices. Therefore, help cards have been integrated into the platform (one example is at the top of the network list page) to provide quick and actionable resources that will enable users to make the best use of new features.
You can access these help cards by pressing the gray button on the cards themselves, which will direct you to its specific topic page on the Onomondo Resource Hub. The help cards will be updated depending on releases and updates.
Network list duplication
- Users can now duplicate Network Lists within the app for faster workflows.
- The duplication feature is found next to the “edit” option on the Network List page.
Wrapping up
Onomondo strives to make IoT connectivity effortless and smarter at the same time. All of the tools and technologies we build are made for IoT specifically, and we look forward to further updates like these in the future.
