An open-source Python IoT gateway that integrates legacy and third-party devices with the ThingsBoard IoT platform. It acts as a protocol adapter, collecting data via connectors for Modbus, OPC-UA, BACnet, CAN bus, BLE, MQTT, ODBC, REST, FTP, SNMP and more, then forwarding it to ThingsBoard in a unified format.
Use cases
- connect modbus plc devices to an iot platform
- collect telemetry from opc-ua industrial systems
- bridge legacy devices to thingsboard
- ingest data from external mqtt brokers
- read sensor data over can bus or ble
- pull telemetry from sql databases via odbc
- integrate bacnet building automation devices
When to choose
- you use ThingsBoard and need to connect devices speaking industrial or legacy protocols
- you need a single gateway supporting many protocols like Modbus, OPC-UA, BACnet, and MQTT
- you want an open-source, actively maintained, Apache-2.0 gateway with Docker support
When to avoid
- you don't use ThingsBoard - the gateway is tightly coupled to the ThingsBoard platform
- you need a protocol not covered by the available connectors
- you need a lightweight direct device-to-cloud connection without a gateway layer
