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
