Integration References

Integration references for Ridfinder detection hardware — written for the people who have to wire it into a real system.

Reference sections

  • REST API — endpoints, authentication and payload shapes for pulling detections into your platform
  • MQTT output — topics, JSON message schema and a Home Assistant example
  • Deployment guide — siting, mounting and validation, from survey to first detection
  • Site survey checklist — the twelve checks we run before quoting a multi-node site
  • Firmware — update channels, policy and the release log
  • Technical FAQ — network ports, offline behaviour, pairing and data retention

What these documents are: illustrative reference material for typical Remote ID and RF-sensor integrations — schemas, deployment practices and checklists drawn from common vendor patterns. They are not an API specification for a purchasable Ridfinder device and do not commit any supplier. For candidate-specific interfaces, request the supplier documentation pack for the exact model and firmware.
