ioBroker

Product Overview

ioBroker is an open-source integration platform designed for building automation, smart metering, ambient assisted living, process automation, visualization, and data logging. It's a concept and database schema that enables systems to interoperate easily, defining common rules for exchanging data and publishing events between different systems.

Main Features of ioBroker

1. In-Memory Database: ioBroker uses an in-memory database to store meta/configuration information and values, which can be stored on disk with reasonable intervals.
2. Redis Integration: ioBroker leverages Redis, a fast in-memory key-value data store and message broker, to maintain and publish all states of connected systems.
3. Adapters: Systems are attached to ioBroker's databases via adapters, which can run on any host that can reach the databases via IP networking. This allows for connectivity with nearly any programming language or platform.
4. Security: ioBroker provides a secure framework for managing IoT devices, energy management, fleet telematics, building automation, and more.
5. Rules Engine and Notifications: Users can create automated behavior using rules, generate alerts, and directly control devices based on live data.
6. Widget Library: The platform offers a widget library for building custom dashboards to collect, process, and visualize data.
7. Multi-Tenancy and Restricted Users: ioBroker supports multi-tenancy and restricted users, enabling the creation of separate environments for different organizations or use cases.

ioBroker's architecture is designed to be flexible, scalable, and secure, making it an attractive solution for building automation, smart cities, agriculture, and other IoT applications.
