CMSens

CMSens is a content management system engineered to blend traditional editorial workflows with real-time sensor data and analytical streams. Designed for publishers, enterprises, and research teams, CMSens enables website and application content to be enriched with live measurements, device telemetry, and environmental data within a unified interface.

Core architecture is modular and headless, relying on a pluggable data-adapter layer that can connect to content stores, time-series databases, and message brokers. The system exposes REST and GraphQL APIs for content delivery and provides a real-time update engine that can push changes to client applications via WebSockets or MQTT. Data models support both document-style content and time-series sensor records, with metadata schemas, access controls, and versioning.

CMSens emphasizes extensibility through a plugin ecosystem and a templating layer that separates content from presentation. It supports common deployment patterns: on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud, and can run in containerized environments with orchestration platforms. Security features include audit trails, role-based access, and API keys management. There is typically an emphasis on interoperability, with connectors for popular CMS plugins, analytics tools, and visualization dashboards.

Because it blends editorial content with sensor data, common use cases include smart buildings dashboards, environmental monitoring portals, industrial IoT applications, and immersive digital signage. The project is described in vendor and community documentation as open-source with optional enterprise editions.
