About WebThings
Monitor and control all your smart home devices via a unified web interface. The purpose of the Web of Things is to create a decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) by giving connected devices URLs on the web to make them linkable and discoverable and defining a standard data model and protocol to make them interoperable. WebThings is an open source implementation of the Web of Things, including the WebThings gateway, WebThings framework, and WebThings cloud. The WebThings project was incubated at Mozilla for four years, before being spun out as an independent open source project. WebThings Gateway is a software distribution for smart home gateways which enables users to directly monitor and control their smart home over the web, without a middleman. It provides a web-based user interface to monitor and control smart home devices, a rules engine to automate them and an add-ons system to extend the gateway with support for a wide range of existing smart home devices.

Eclipse Kura
Eclipse Kura™ is an extensible open source IoT Edge Framework based on Java/OSGi. Kura offers API access to the hardware interfaces of IoT Gateways (serial ports, GPS, watchdog, GPIOs, I2C, etc.). It features ready-to-use field protocols (including Modbus, OPC-UA, S7), an application container, and a web-based visual data flow programming to acquire data from the field, process it at the edge, and publish it to leading IoT Cloud Platforms through MQTT connectivity. The emergence of an Internet of Thing (IoT) service gateway model running modern software stacks, operating on the edge of an IoT deployment as an aggregator and controller, has opened up the possibility of enabling enterprise-level technologies to IoT gateways. Advanced software frameworks, which abstract and isolate the developer from the complexity of the hardware and the networking sub-systems, re-define the development and re-usability of integrated hardware and software solutions.
