Datalogging, Management and Monitoring Platform

This is a platform for Datalogging, Management and Monitoring (DMM) - with Applications within Industrial IT, Automation, Smart Homes and Buildings.

The platform is open source, you can freely download source code, documentation, etc.

The platform makes it possible to manage and log data from different sources and devices, such as ordinary PC with DAQ devices, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Data can be stored locally or in the cloud.
