ThingsBoard on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

ThingsBoard is an open source IoT platform for connecting devices, collecting and processing their telemetry, and building interactive dashboards and automation on top of it. Devices connect over MQTT, HTTP and CoAP; their attributes and time series data are stored and exposed through a full REST API; and drag and drop dashboards turn that data into live widgets, maps and charts. A visual rule engine routes messages, raises alarms, transforms telemetry and triggers actions, while multi tenancy keeps tenants, customers and their assets cleanly separated.

It suits IoT teams, solution builders and product companies that need a ready made foundation for device management, telemetry storage, visualization and event processing rather than assembling one from scratch. This single node build runs the platform in monolithic mode with a local PostgreSQL database for both entities and time series data, so a complete platform, web UI, REST API, rule engine and device connectivity, comes up on one instance, ready to onboard devices and back small to mid sized deployments or proofs of concept.

Common uses

• Connecting and managing IoT devices over MQTT, HTTP and CoAP with per device attributes, telemetry storage and a full REST API
• Building live dashboards that visualize device telemetry as charts, gauges, maps and tables for operators and customers
• Routing telemetry through a visual rule engine to raise alarms, transform data and trigger automated actions
