protocol features

Building Blocks of an Open Vehicle Platform.

Open Hardware

Hardware manufacturers can make DIMO-compatible devices, and any of these can provide data. 

Data Accessibility

Users are always in control of their data and can revoke access from applications. This makes it the most user-aligned telematics platform.

Verified Telemetry Data

The DIMO Protocol employs multiple data verification methods to ensure developers and users trust the data.

Device Twin

A DIMO-native digital twin that utilizes blockchain technology to create an immutable, decentralized record of a physical device's data.

Get started building on DIMO

  1. index.js 
                                
    const dimoClient = dimo.newClient(privateKey);
 const vehicleId = dimoClient.resolve("reddy.dimo");
const vehicle = dimoClient.getVehicle(vehicleId);
  2. index.js 
                                
    const vehicle = dimoClient.getVehicle(vehicleId);
const odometer = vehicle.getOdometer();
  3. index.js 
                                
    const vehicle = dimoClient.getVehicle(vehicleId);
const status = vehicle.doorUnlock();
  4. index.js 
                                
    const vehicle = dimoClient.getVehicle(vehicleId);
stream = vehicle.getLiveStream()
stream.onMessage() {

}
  5. index.js 
                                
    const vehicle = dimoClient.getVehicle(vehicleId);
const status = vehicle.getChargingStatus();
if(status.isCharged()) vehicle.stopCharging();
  6. index.js 
                                
    List[Trip] completedTrips = vehicle.getTripHistory((last24));
if(completedTrips.contains(rideRequest)){
 vehicle.removeRider(rideRequest.getRider())
}
