OpenRemote

OpenRemote is a 100% open-source IoT platform for connecting, managing, and monitoring devices and assets. It provides device provisioning, automation rules, and dashboards to analyze and visualize live and historical data, with multi-tenant support for serving multiple customers or organizations.

Key Features

• Device and asset management with customizable asset types
• Secure connectivity via APIs and protocol integrations (e.g., MQTT, HTTP/REST, WebSocket)
• Automation using a rules engine with drag-and-drop flows and scripting (JavaScript and Groovy)
• Alerts and notifications based on live telemetry and events
• Dashboard and insights builder for data visualization
• Multi-tenancy (realms) with users, roles, and restricted access
• Extensible web components for building custom web apps for installers and end-users

Use Cases

• IoT manufacturers managing distributed devices with provisioning, monitoring, and updates
• System integrators unifying multiple on-site systems into a single monitoring and control platform
• Energy management and smart building scenarios using rules, alarms, and dashboards

Limitations and Considerations

• Historical attribute data retention is governed by configurable purge policies, which may require tuning for long-term analytics needs

OpenRemote fits teams that need an end-to-end, customizable IoT foundation: connectivity, asset modeling, automation, and visualization in one platform. Its multi-tenant architecture and extensibility make it suitable for both single deployments and solutions delivered to multiple customers.
