# thin-edge.io

## Introducing thin-edge.io - The open edge IoT Framework

* 🔧 **thin-edge.io** is an open-source framework designed for **resource-constrained devices** with **<16 MB memory** and **low CPU power**, enabling remote monitoring, configuration, and firmware management.
* 🔐 The framework utilizes **X509 certificates** and **MQTT** for secure communication, making it suitable for industrial IoT applications requiring robust security measures.
* 📊 **thin-edge.io** integrates seamlessly with **Cumulocity**, an IoT platform that offers **device management**, **data analytics**, and **alarm management** capabilities through a user-friendly web interface.

### Implementation and Scalability

* 🚀 Installation on a **Revolution Pi** involves system updates, MQTT setup, and configuring thin-edge.io with a **Cumulocity tenant ID**, demonstrating its adaptability to various edge devices.
* 🔄 **thin-edge.io** supports **remote software deployment** and **SSH passthrough**, allowing for secure access and updates to **Node-RED flows** on edge devices from anywhere.
* 📈 The framework is **easily scalable** for managing multiple devices in bulk, supporting configuration, firmware, and software management across large IoT deployments.

### IoT Data Management

* 📡 **Cumulocity** provides a range of **visualization widgets,** including alarms, graphs, and gauge charts, enabling customized dashboards for real-time IoT data monitoring and analysis.
* 👥 The platform supports **child device** creation, allowing for hierarchical data categorization and management in complex IoT ecosystems.

### Programming and Deployment

* OTee's **structure text editor** allows for efficient PLC programming using **IEC 61131-3 compliant language**, featuring **tag definition**, **variable creation**, **logic programming**, and **alarm creation**.
* The **onboarding process** for OTee involves adding a device, downloading an installer, running it on the edge device, and installing the **OTee agent** for real-time data exchange between the cloud and edge.
