This repository is a curated 'awesome list' of Internet of Things (IoT) resources, not a software application or data pipeline. It consists primarily of a large README.md containing categorized links to IoT frameworks, libraries, platforms, tools, protocols, hardware, and educational resources. Two Python utility scripts support maintenance: metadata.py fetches GitHub star counts and update dates for listed projects, and toc.py auto-generates a table of contents from markdown headings. The repo serves as a reference directory for IoT developers, with no runtime code, APIs, or data transformations. The dominant character is a reference list; it is not a deployable application or a data research project.
VOLTTRON is a Python-based distributed control and integration platform for building and industrial control systems. It runs cooperating 'agents' (services) that communicate over a ZeroMQ/RabbitMQ message bus called VIP, supporting pub/sub, RPC, and peer-to-peer routing. The platform provides agent lifecycle management (volttron-ctl), a web UI, authentication, historians, and protocol drivers for Modbus, BACnet, and similar field protocols. In production it acts as a central hub for collecting sensor/controller data, executing actuation commands, and hosting automation logic.
