Open Source TypeScript IoT Software

MQTT X is a cross-platform MQTT 5.0 client tool open sourced by EMQ, which can run on macOS, Linux and Windows, and supports formatting MQTT payload. MQTT X simplifies test operation with the help of a familiar, chat-like interface. It’s easy and quick to create multiple, simultaneous online MQTT client connections, and can test the connection, publishing, and subscription functions of MQTT/TCP, MQTT/TLS, MQTT/WebSocket as well as other MQTT protocol features. MQTT stands for MQ Telemetry Transport. It is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks. To run MQTT Broker locally, EMQX is recommended: An Open-Source, Cloud-Native, Distributed MQTT Broker for IoT. After the MQTT is connected successfully, you can perform MQTT publish and subscription tests.

ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization, and device management. It enables device connectivity via industry standard IoT protocols, MQTT, CoAP and HTTP and supports both cloud and on-premises deployments. ThingsBoard combines scalability, fault-tolerance and performance so you will never lose your data. Provision, monitor and control your IoT entities in a secure way using rich server-side APIs. Define relations between your devices, assets, customers or any other entities. Collect and store telemetry data in a scalable and fault-tolerant way. Visualize your data with built-in or custom widgets and flexible dashboards. Share dashboards with your customers. Define data processing rule chains. Transform and normalize your device data. Raise alarms on incoming telemetry events, attribute updates, device inactivity, and user actions.

Zigbee2MQTT is an open-source bridge that lets users operate Zigbee devices without relying on proprietary vendor gateways. It connects compatible Zigbee adapters to devices and translates their events and controls into MQTT messages. This makes Zigbee hardware usable with a wide range of home automation platforms rather than tying it to one ecosystem. The project maintains device state locally and provides web interfaces for monitoring and configuration. Its architecture combines zigbee-herdsman for radio communication with device converters that map individual hardware models to Zigbee capabilities. It supports an extensive device catalog and integrates with platforms such as Home Assistant, Homey, Domoticz, Gladys Assistant, and ioBroker.
