ThingsBoard
Open-source IoT platform for device management and data visualization
What is ThingsBoard?
Try ThingsBoardThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform built for managing connected devices, collecting telemetry, and visualizing data in real time. It’s designed to support a wide range of IoT use cases with reference architectures and PoC dashboards, and it can be deployed as ThingsBoard Cloud or on-premises (including edge and gateway options). For turning device data into business-ready metrics, you can add Trendz Analytics.
What does ThingsBoard do for IoT teams?
ThingsBoard helps you connect devices, manage assets, collect and process telemetry, and build real-time dashboards for operational monitoring. It’s commonly used to run workflow-style workflows and automate responses based on incoming IoT events.
Which IoT device and network protocols can ThingsBoard work with?
ThingsBoard supports industry-standard connectivity protocols including MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP, and it also supports additional modern protocols for IoT environments (such as NB IoT, LoRaWAN, SigFox, and LwM2M).
How does ThingsBoard automate processing, alerts, and notifications?
You can create data processing rule chains to transform and normalize telemetry, then raise alarms based on events such as telemetry updates, inactivity, or user actions. Notification chains help route alarms into the operational workflow you choose (including examples like SMS and email for alarm delivery).
Can you build real-time dashboards and share them with others?
Yes. ThingsBoard provides real-time dashboards with built-in widgets, plus a built-in editor to create custom widgets. Dashboards can also be shared for wider visibility across teams.
Is Trendz Analytics available to turn telemetry into KPIs?
Trendz Analytics helps turn raw IoT telemetry into business-focused KPIs and insights. It supports no-code KPI and metric definitions, which you can reuse across dashboards, alerts, and reports.
What kinds of IoT use cases does ThingsBoard support?
ThingsBoard is used across many verticals, including smart energy and metering, environmental and air quality monitoring, smart office and assisted living, fleet tracking and geofencing, smart retail, smart farming and irrigation, waste management, and tank level monitoring. Each use case can come with a PoC dashboard and a reference solution architecture.
