Thingsboard

The platform provides device management, data collection, processing, and visualization for Internet‑of‑Things projects. It supports industry‑standard protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP, allowing devices to connect securely to either on‑premises installations or a cloud offering. Rich server‑side APIs enable provisioning, monitoring, and control of devices, assets, customers, and other entities, with the ability to define relationships among them.

Telemetry is stored in a scalable, fault‑tolerant manner and can be displayed on real‑time dashboards using built‑in or custom widgets. Users can share dashboards with customers, create SCADA‑style visualizations for industrial processes, and set thresholds that trigger alarms and notifications via email, SMS, or mobile apps. A rule engine allows the definition of processing chains to transform, normalize, and react to incoming data or device events.

The software is released under the Apache‑2.0 license, is self‑hostable, and offers a free tier without subscription requirements. It is positioned as a stable, open‑source solution that can be extended through microservices architecture for high‑performance, scalable deployments.
