🌐 Telemetry Insights – ThingsBoard Central Manager Wiki

Welcome to the documentation hub for our customized ThingsBoard deployment. This system is the centralized control platform for all Buddi IoT devices and future integrations across the Telemetry Insights ecosystem.


🧭 Overview

ThingsBoard is a powerful open-source IoT platform that supports:

  • Device telemetry ingestion via MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, WebHooks
  • Rules, alarms, and edge logic
  • Flexible UI dashboards
  • Multi-tenant, scalable architecture

We are enhancing and rebranding it to serve as the Telemetry Insights Central Manager.


🎯 Strategic Goals

  1. βœ… UI Rebranding
    The entire Angular UI has been reskinned with Telemetry Insights branding (green palette, modern login, responsive design)

  2. πŸš€ Firmware & Certificate OTA
    Integration with our Node.js MQTT chunk uploader to support secure firmware and certificate updates.

  3. 🧠 Device Control and Orchestration
    Centralized command & control interface for automation, scheduling, and manual triggers.

  4. πŸŒ‰ Protocol Gateway Expansion
    Extend support to additional devices through MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, and edge proxy configurations.

  5. πŸ“Š Unified UX for Reporting
    One Angular interface for dashboards, logs, user roles, and configuration management.


πŸ—‚οΈ Current Documentation

More pages will be added as the project evolves: telemetry handling, backend MQTT node services, device enrollment, NGINX proxy, etc.


πŸ“Œ Primary Use Case – Buddi

The Buddi product family represents a growing suite of IoT solutions under Telemetry Insights.

🌿 Water Buddi

An intelligent soil and irrigation monitoring system that connects via MQTT to the cloud. The Central Manager UI supports:

  • OTA firmware and certificate updates
  • Real-time telemetry and moisture tracking
  • Manual and automated watering logic
  • WiFi provisioning, logging, and device identity tracking

🚦 Traffic Buddi

A smart foot traffic analytics solution that monitors, tracks, and reports on movement into and within defined spaces. It enables:

  • Occupancy insights for marketing, sales, or security
  • Real-time alerting and anomaly detection
  • Integration with business data to support fact-based decisions

Additional Buddi products are in active R&D, each designed to seamlessly integrate with the Telemetry Insights Central Manager for configuration, telemetry, and automation.


πŸ“‘ Future Integrations

βœ”οΈ Devices from other verticals (traffic monitoring, sensor hubs, HVAC)
βœ”οΈ Edge devices running ThingsBoard Edge
βœ”οΈ Certificate lifecycle management and credential rotation
βœ”οΈ Federated gateway management with remote provisioning
