sensorsIO

sensorsIO is a sensor data integration and management platform designed to collect, process, and visualize readings from physical sensors and IoT devices. It emphasizes modularity, interoperability, and support for open standards, enabling applications across industrial, environmental, and consumer sensing domains.

The system architecture comprises a core engine, adapters, a data plane, a processing pipeline, and a visualization layer. It provides pluggable drivers for communication protocols such as MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, and supports integrations with time-series databases like InfluxDB and TimescaleDB as well as message brokers such as Kafka and RabbitMQ. Sensor data is modeled as readings with fields such as sensor_id, timestamp, value, unit, location, and metadata, plus optional schema versions and provenance data.

Ingestion and processing are designed for real-time streaming and batch workloads. A rule engine allows event-driven processing, transformations, unit conversions, and alerting. The platform offers a REST API and client SDKs for common languages (e.g., Python and JavaScript), and supports authentication via API keys and OIDC.

It includes features for data validation, device registry, access control, audit logs, and pluggable storage backends.

Common use cases include industrial automation, environmental monitoring, smart buildings, agriculture, and research. Deployments may be on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid configurations, and the platform aims to bridge devices, data stores, and analytics tools.

As a community-driven project with open-source licensing, sensorsIO emphasizes extensibility through plugins and integrations, encouraging contributions from developers and organizations.
