OpenRemote is a 100% open-source (AGPLv3) IoT platform for device management, automation, and data visualization, built on a Java backend with a web-based Manager UI. It supports protocol agents (MQTT, HTTP/REST, WebSocket, Modbus), multi-tenancy, rules engines (When-Then, Flow, Groovy), edge gateways, and an Insights dashboard builder, deployable via Docker.

Use cases

  • manage and provision IoT devices from a single platform
  • build a smart city or building management dashboard
  • monitor and automate energy management systems
  • track fleet telematics and vehicle assets
  • integrate devices over MQTT, Modbus, or HTTP into one manager
  • create custom IoT apps with rules and flow automation
  • self-host an open-source alternative to commercial IoT platforms

When to choose

  • you need a full-stack, self-hosted IoT platform with device management, automation, and dashboards
  • you want 100% open-source code with no vendor lock-in and multi-tenancy support
  • you manage diverse assets like EV chargers, buildings, fleets, or city infrastructure
  • you need protocol agents (MQTT, Modbus, HTTP) plus a rules engine out of the box

When to avoid

  • you only need a lightweight MQTT broker or simple device dashboard without a full platform
  • your project requires a permissive license (AGPLv3 restricts redistribution as a service)
  • you need a managed cloud IoT service rather than self-hosted infrastructure
  • your stack is not Java/Docker friendly
