STIHL Smart Connector

STIHL Smart Connector: A Clever Management System for Your Tools

Managing tools effectively can be a challenge for homeowners and professional users alike, but the STIHL Smart Connector helps make it simple. Designed as the central part of the STIHL Connected digital platform, it allows you to track, manage, and plan your tool use with ease. Whether you run a landscaping business with a large machine fleet or simply want to keep your home garden tools organised, this clever sensor makes tool management more efficient, reliable, and forward-thinking.

Compact Design, Powerful Capabilities

At just under 5cm in diameter, a smart connector STIHL device is small enough to sit discreetly on your tools without getting in the way. Despite its compact size, it is remarkably capable. Compatible with petrol, electric, and cordless tools, including non-STIHL machines, the connector logs vital data each time the tool’s motor runs. It records total operating hours and then securely transfers this information via Bluetooth®. This blend of simplicity and precision means you always know exactly how long your equipment has been performing, without the need for manual record-keeping.

Seamless Connection to Your Devices

The true benefit of the STIHL Smart Connect system lies in how it integrates with your digital devices. Once the data has been gathered, it is transmitted to your smartphone or tablet using the STIHL Connect app. From here, you can explore the information on the STIHL Smart Connector app, or for professional users, the STIHL Connect Pro portal. Both provide a clear overview of your entire fleet, allowing you to see tool availability, when servicing is due, and historical usage data. Whether you are checking on one cordless hedge trimmer at home or coordinating a full team of landscaping machines, this technology provides you with the insights you need.

Making Maintenance Simple

One of the biggest frustrations for any tool owner is missing a service or carrying out maintenance too late. With STIHL Smart Connect, you no longer have to rely on memory or guesswork. The system will remind you when it is time to change filters, spark plugs, or carry out essential servicing, all based on accurate usage data. This not only extends the life of your tools but also ensures they are always running at their best. And by connecting to your local STIHL Approved Dealer, you can share this information ahead of an appointment, so the technicians know exactly what work is required before you arrive.

Fleet Management Made Smarter

For professional users, time spent organising equipment is time taken away from the job. The STIHL Connected platform solves this by centralising all tool records in one place. You can quickly see which machines are due for service, how many operating hours each has completed, and even identify missing equipment at the end of the working day. This level of detail helps you plan replacements, manage workloads, and streamline operations with complete confidence.

Built for Everyday Reliability

The STIHL Smart Connector is as tough as it is intelligent. With an IP67 rating, it is dust-tight and water-resistant, ensuring it keeps working even in demanding outdoor conditions. Its compact build, at 53mm in length and 42mm in width, means it fits neatly on a wide variety of tools. Whether it is mounted on a chainsaw, hedge trimmer, mower, or blower, this small but clever device performs reliably day after day.

Extend Your Warranty with a STIHL Smart Connector

By purchasing a STIHL Smart Connector with STIHL AP system battery tools or selected professional petrol tools, this extends your warranty for a further year, giving you even greater peace of mind with your purchase.
