STIHL Smart Connector 1 – Tool Fleet Management Made Simple
The STIHL Smart Connector 1 is the heart of the STIHL connected system – a compact sensor that brings smart fleet management to your power tools. With a diameter of just under 5 cm, it mounts directly onto your machines and records their operating time whenever the motor is running, then sends this data via Bluetooth® to the STIHL connected App or STIHL connected Portal.
Designed for professional users in gardening and landscaping, municipal services and forestry, as well as serious domestic users, the Smart Connector 1 gives you a clear overview of your entire tool fleet. You’ll always know which tools have been used, how long they’ve run, when maintenance is due and which machines are nearby at the end of the working day.
The data sent by the Smart Connector 1 unlocks the full potential of STIHL connected: from digital service records and maintenance reminders, to daily runtime analysis and streamlined servicing with your STIHL Approved Dealer. A built-in LED identification light and positioning aid also make it easy to assign and find the correct connector on each tool – especially useful in larger fleets and busy workshops.
Note: The STIHL Smart Connector 1 can be mounted on STIHL and third-party petrol, electric and battery-powered tools, making it a flexible solution for mixed fleets.
Key Features

- Records tool operating time whenever the motor is running
- Provides maintenance reminders so servicing is never missed

- End-of-day overview of which tools are in Bluetooth® range – helps identify missing machines
- Supports easier servicing via STIHL Approved Dealers with advance access to machine data
- Built-in LED makes each Smart Connector 1 easy to identify in larger fleets
- Positioning aid helps correct fitting on third-party tools
