1.6 Integrate NIMMSTA Cloud Link

NIMMSTA Cloud Link is a service that allows you to connect your NIMMSTA Core application to the NIMMSTA Cloud. This allows to manage all your NIMMSTA hardware with NIMMSTA Cloud. It is required if you want to use Light Tag predictive maintenance or the maintenance contract for Smart Watches.

Setup

To integrate NIMMSTA Cloud Link into your application, follow these steps:

1. Go to cloud.nimmsta.com and create a new configuration in Software -> Configured Apps. You can just select Android as Platform.
2. Enable Cloud Link for the configuration and select your tenant to be used.
3. Enable tenant assignment for Devices to make sure that devices are assigned to your tenant automatically.
4. Download the .nimmstaconfig file and unzip it.
5. Option 1: Take out secretkey.json and copy to your Android App's res/raw folder.
6. Option 2: Call connectionManager.setCloudLinkConfig(CloudLinkConfig(secret = "[SECRET]", tokenUrl = "[TOKEN_URL]"))

Firewall rules

Last reviewed: 2026-08-27

To use NIMMSTA Cloud features from a customer network, allow outbound HTTPS traffic on TCP port 443 to the following hostnames:

Hostname	Required access	Description
apps-ingress.nimmsta.com	Allow the /connectivity path.	Used to check connectivity to the NIMMSTA servers.
backend.cloud.nimmsta.com	Allow all paths. This is the Cloud Link hostname and is a CNAME for apps-ingress.nimmsta.com.	Used for CloudLink functionality such as device reporting and log-file uploads.
nimmsta-configurator-artifacts.b2b.nimmsta.com	Allow HTTPS access for NIMMSTA configurator artifacts.	Used to download firmware updates and identify firmware bundles.

If your firewall or proxy filters HTTPS by hostname, allow each hostname above rather than relying on its resolved IP address.

Done

You're done! Your application is now connected to NIMMSTA Cloud Link and can communicate with the NIMMSTA Cloud. Just try to connect a smart watch or a Light Tag to your application and after roughly 2 minutes, it will appear in your tenant.
