News: Chandelier.Cloud Launches New API for Smart Lighting Integrations

Today, Chandelier.Cloud unveiled its new open API and software development kit (SDK) designed to accelerate integrations between cloud-enabled chandeliers and smart home platforms. The announcement marks a step toward broader interoperability and developer empowerment in the smart lighting space.

What the API offers

The API provides:

• Device discovery and pairing endpoints
• Scene and schedule management
• Telemetry reporting including energy consumption and fault diagnostics
• Secure authentication flows and webhook-based event delivery

Developer-friendly features

Chandelier.Cloud emphasized simplicity and security. Key features include rate-limited endpoints, OAuth2-based authentication, and sample code for popular stacks such as Node.js and Python. The SDK abstracts common tasks like firmware update orchestration and provisioning pipelines for installers.

Industry context

Interoperability has been a sticking point in smart lighting. With Matter gaining traction, vendors are seeking complementary APIs that expose advanced telemetry and control flows that Matter doesn't cover. Chandelier.Cloud's API aims to fill that gap by enabling deeper integrations for hospitality, enterprise, and bespoke residential projects.

Security and privacy

The company announced end-to-end encryption for telemetry and a robust permissioning model that lets installers and homeowners control data sharing. "Security is central to trust," said Chandelier.Cloud CTO in a statement. "We built the platform to minimize exposure while giving developers the tools they need."

Availability

The API is available immediately in beta. Chandelier.Cloud invites developers and integrators to join the developer portal for documentation, SDK downloads, and sandbox access.

Why it matters

For designers and integrators, an accessible and open API can reduce time-to-deploy and enable new experiences that bind chandeliers to broader building systems—HVAC, occupancy analytics, and guest services in hospitality contexts. For consumers, it increases the chance that fixtures will play well within mixed-vendor homes.

To learn more or request access, visit the Chandelier.Cloud developer portal or attend the upcoming webinar where the API team will demo common integration patterns.
