The problem

Every connected product hits the same fork.

Between "we have a device" and "we have a product" sits 6-12 months of undifferentiated infrastructure work. Today there are two bad ways to pay for it.

Option A

Build it yourself

Months of plumbing you'll own forever

  • Broker, CA, time-series store, identity, monitoring, secure deployment
  • Needs a specialized platform team
  • You own the security posture for life

Option B

Rent a hyperscaler IoT cloud

Fast start, expensive forever

  • Per-device pricing that punishes success
  • Vendor lock-in and data-residency limits
  • A hard ceiling on customization

The third path

OpenThings

Managed-platform convenience. Open-source control.

  • Run it anywhere, any cloud or on-prem
  • Keep your data, your stack, your terms
  • No device caps, no per-device tax

The portal

Your fleet, in focus.

OpenThings portal: fleet overview dashboard
OpenThings portal: device telemetry charts
OpenThings portal: alert rules and active alerts

In your pocket

The whole fleet, wherever you are.

Operate the fleet from the portal or the OpenThings mobile app: device status, telemetry and alerts on the move.

OpenThings mobile app: fleet list with device status
OpenThings mobile app: single device detail with telemetry

Capabilities

Everything a device fleet needs, day one.

All device traffic flows over a single surface: MQTT with mutual TLS. The broker is a manifest field - swap it without touching devices, certificates or topics.

  • Device management

    Fleet inventory, lifecycle, firmware versions, grouping and tagging.

  • Telemetry

    Ingest, validate, store and serve time-series; retention and dashboards.

  • Device identity (PKI)

    Per-device mTLS identity with automated issuance and rotation.

  • Enrollment

    Secure onboarding and provisioning for new devices.

  • OTA firmware

    Chunked delivery, signature verification before apply, rollback-ready.

  • Commands

    Reliable device commands over the same authenticated channel.

  • Alerting

    Device and fleet condition alerts with Grafana dashboards built in.

  • Mobile + web apps

    Operate the fleet from the portal or the OpenThings mobile app.

Security & compliance

Built for the CRA era.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act puts real security obligations on connected products. OpenThings is built to meet them - already a buying requirement for some European customers, and a selling point for your product.

Per-device mTLS identity

Every device gets its own certificate, issued and rotated automatically by the platform PKI. No manual key handling.

Signed firmware

Integrity and signature verification before apply; rollback-ready OTA. Updates that cannot be tampered with.

Multi-tenant isolation

Each tenant gets its own network, database, broker, TLS and egress allow-list. Operators authenticate via Keycloak; devices never touch the identity provider.

CRA-ready

Unique device identity, secure update and isolation - the CRA checklist, covered by design.

Pricing & partnership

Free to own. Paid to be effortless.

No clash with open source: self-hosting is free at any scale. Payment buys operations and guarantees - never the software itself.

Let's put your product on OpenThings.

We're early and building fast. Pilot deployments and design-partner slots are open now - early enough that what you need shapes what we build.
