Features of obnizOS
obnizOS is software that runs on the device.
obnizOS (obnizOS for ESP32 and others) is distributed free of charge and can be installed on ESP32-equipped devices.
You can use all the functions of obniz such as state monitoring and APIs.
Integration with the Cloud
- - Remote control via IO/Peripheral/BLE cloud
- - Constant two-way communication with the obniz cloud
- - OTA itself A
Network Connection/Control
- - Internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet
- - Prepared network configuration features (serial communication or softAP)
- - Mechanisms for getting online all the time, including ping and WDT
Security
- - TLS1.2 encryption and server authentication in the communication channel
- - Device authentication using public key authentication
- - Proxies and static IPs, with the ability to connect to stealth SSIDs
Plug-ins
You can add your own programs to the obnizOS running on the device to extend it.
Extend the OS with plug-ins
Extend the OS with plug-ins
You can add programs to extend obnizOS by adding them to the obnizOS running on the device. You can create your own programs to enhance the device's functionality, such as offline handling and fast IO control, which was not possible with existing obniz. You will be able to customize it for a variety of applications.
You can use Plug-in over-the-air (OTA) via the obniz cloud or USB.
[Examples of enhancements]
- Specify device behavior when offline
- Using parts that are not compatible with obnizjs
- Fast and stable operation with low latency
- Filter only necessary information to reduce traffic
Develop a plug-in
The Arduino IDE allows you to develop your own plug-ins at your disposal. Using Arduino libraries to enhance obniz's capabilities. You can use the plug-in on your device or publish it to the store.
Using plug-ins
More convenient and easier to use with plug-ins. You can extend the functionality of obniz by adding necessary functions with plug-ins. (Plug-in store to be released soon.)
