OpenRemote
OpenRemote is an IoT platform that models every building, EV charger, solar panel, and street light as an asset in one tree, then maps, charts, and automates them from a single web dashboard. Define your own asset types, and give each attribute live readings, writable setpoints, history, and forecasts. Connect hardware with protocol agents for HTTP, MQTT, Modbus, KNX, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, SNMP, and serial, discovering devices or importing project files where the protocol allows. Plot assets on a map with live position and heading, tint markers by attribute value, and add geofences and GeoJSON layers. Automate with When-Then rules, a drag-and-drop Flow editor, or Groovy and JavaScript rules, and run them on a schedule. Raise e-mails, push notifications, webhooks, or assignable alarms from the result. Compose shareable dashboards in Insights from nine widget types, including charts, KPIs, gauges, maps, and tables. Give each customer a realm with its own users, roles, and white-label branding. Sync edge gateways to a central instance and open them remotely through tunnels. Let devices with X.509 certificates register themselves. Read and write every attribute over REST, MQTT, or WebSocket, and let AI assistants manage assets in plain language through the MCP server. Typical projects span smart cities, building and energy management, and equipment fleets, in an interface that speaks nine languages.

evcc
evcc turns surplus rooftop solar and the cheapest hours of a dynamic tariff into cheap, clean kilometers by coordinating an EV charger, heat pump, and home battery from one local dashboard. Each charging point offers Off, Smart, and Fast modes. In Smart mode, charging starts once the surplus covers the car's minimum power, follows the sun up and down, pauses when clouds win, and can switch between one and three phases on wallboxes that allow it. A solar share slider lets small systems start earlier, and Always charge keeps fussy cars from being interrupted. Set a departure time and a target charge, and a charging plan picks the cheapest or cleanest hours before it, repeating weekly if you like. Tibber, Awattar, fixed and time-based rates, dynamic feed-in prices, and CO2 and solar forecasts all feed those decisions. A home battery can claim the surplus first or lend a boost for fast charging, and load management keeps several chargers inside a circuit's current limit while honoring grid operator dimming. Hundreds of wallboxes, inverters, meters, heat pumps, and vehicle APIs are supported, including Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, and Volkswagen. Sessions land in a history with charts and CSV export, and REST, MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana, Home Assistant, and openHAB link evcc to the rest of the house.
