my-devices.net is a cloud-based service providing remote access to networked smart devices. It provides a reflector server infrastructure that manages access to network-capable devices, using a secure tunnel connection from devices that work through firewalls, proxy servers and NAT routers. Users can access these devices from anywhere, on any device with a web browser, such as smartphones, tablets and PCs. The reflector server is built as a scalable platform that allows for the deployment of customer-specific applications on top of the infrastructure.

This opens up the door to a great number of innovative applications, from remote maintenance solutions to end-user applications. For device providers, it poses a significant cost reduction due to remote servicing capabilities, greatly reducing the need to travel to customer sites. In the long run, we could all benefit from optimizing device operation and energy consumption.
