Openweave

OpenWeave is an open-source software framework that provides an implementation of the Weave communication protocol for Internet of Things devices. It originated within Nest Labs and was released publicly to support secure, interoperable device-to-device and device-to-cloud communication across smart home and IoT ecosystems.

The framework comprises libraries and tools intended to run on embedded hardware and conventional computing platforms. It supports core capabilities such as device provisioning, secure messaging, and access control, with a focus on security, reliability, and predictable behavior in networked environments.

OpenWeave served as a reference implementation and development platform for developers building devices and services that use the Weave protocol. It facilitated testing of interoperability between devices, mobile apps, and cloud services, and contributed to the broader discussion around the design of interoperable IoT standards.

Over time, as the IoT interoperability landscape evolved toward newer standards, maintenance and active development of OpenWeave has varied. Prospective users should check the official repository and documentation for current status, licensing terms, platform support, and contribution guidelines.
