Seam
The Universal API for IoT Devices.
Overview
Seam is an API platform that abstracts away the complexity of integrating with hundreds of different IoT device manufacturers. It provides a single, consistent API for developers to control devices, manage access, and monitor status. This enables companies in sectors like property management, hospitality, and energy to build applications that interact with the physical world without needing to build and maintain dozens of bespoke integrations.
✨ Key Features
- Unified API for IoT devices (Smart Locks, Thermostats, Access Control)
- Support for 1000+ device models
- Device management and control (lock/unlock, create access codes)
- Pre-built UI components (Seam Connect)
- Real-time event notifications via webhooks
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deep specialization in the consumer/prosumer IoT device space.
- Extremely broad device compatibility.
- Simple, developer-friendly API and documentation.
Unique Value: Integrate with over 1,000 models of smart locks, thermostats, and other IoT devices through a single, simple API, saving countless hours of engineering effort.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- A property management system using Seam to automatically generate and revoke guest access codes for smart locks.
- An energy management app controlling smart thermostats across a portfolio of buildings.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Integrations with software applications (e.g., CRM, Accounting).
- Industrial IoT or manufacturing use cases.
🏆 Alternatives
The primary alternative is building and maintaining individual integrations with each IoT brand, which is complex, time-consuming, and brittle. Seam provides a reliable abstraction layer.
