Welcome to OpenRemote; an intuitive user-friendly 100% open source IoT platform. You can build a complete IoT device management solution including: device management and auto provisioning, customisation of asset types, automation via when-then, flow, javascript and groovy rules, data analytics, connectivity via several protocol agents and manager APIs (e.g. MQTT broker, HTTP/REST, WS), Multi-tenancy (realms), Users and roles management, Edge gateway, Front-end UI web components and consoles, and an Insights dashboard builder.

As the code base is 100% open source, applications are limitless. Here's an architecture overview:
