📄️ Overview
Agents are a special type of asset which link external services/devices with your OpenRemote system via protocols; agents can be put into the following categories:
📄️ Bluetooth Mesh
Connect to a Bluetooth Mesh network via a Bluetooth Mesh proxy. Note that only Linux Docker host systems with a bluez protocol stack is supported.
📄️ E-mail
OpenRemote includes an e-mail client which can connect to your mail service. Through an e-mail agent you can receive e-mails and process the text into attribute values. Based on sending address and title data gets automatically linked to the correct asset in your instance.
📄️ HTTP
Connect to a HTTP(S) Server.
📄️ KNX
Connect to a KNX network via a KNX IP Interface/Router.
📄️ LoRa
OpenRemote supports LoRa integration. You can connect OpenRemote to the most popular LoRa network servers (e.g. ChirpStack and TTN), using their documented APIs. As example we have worked out this Tutorial: connecting to LoRaWAN sensor data from Chirpstack.
📄️ MQTT
There is an MQTT Agent (Client) in OpenRemote that you can use to connect to an external MQTT Broker. First use the MQTT
📄️ Simulator
Simulate a connection to an external service, useful during development when the real service is un-available etc. It can also be used to automatically replay a fixed set of simulated values over a repeating 24h period.
📄️ SNMP
Connect to a SNMP server and listen to SNMP traps.
📄️ Serial
Connect to a Serial Server.
📄️ TCP
Connect to a TCP Server.
📄️ UDP
Connect to an UDP Server.
📄️ Velbus
Connect to a Velbus network using either of the following implementations:
📄️ WebSocket
Connect to a WebSocket (ws/wss) Server.
📄️ Z-Wave
Connect to a Z-Wave network via a USB stick (tested with Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5), this protocol requires a device mapping for the manager Docker container to provide access to the USB stick.
📄️ Partner Integrations
Below is a short list of companies who actively offer and maintain integrations with OpenRemote. We refer to their documentation and the original protocol it's based on.
