OpenADMS Node

The Open Automatic Deformation Monitoring System (OpenADMS) is a free and open-source software for sensor control, observation data processing, data storage, and data exchange in the Internet of Things (IoT). The OpenADMS Node software is used for automating geodetical and geotechnical control measurements within sensor networks.

Features

Some of the features of OpenADMS Node are:

platform-independent
supports geodetic, geotechnical, and meteorological sensors
enables IoT sensor networks based on the MQTT messaging protocol
compatible to the Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers
export of observation data to CSV files
support for NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, Apache CouchDB, TinyDB)
automated alarming system (e-mail, SMS, IRC, RSS, Mastodon, optical/acoustical)
processing of total station measurements (polar transformation, Helmert transformation, atmospheric distance correction, serial measurements in two faces)

virtual sensors
JSON-based configuration and data exchange
data validation with JSON Schema
web-based user interface
transmission of observations, log messages, and heartbeats to OpenADMS Server
open source (BSD-2-Clause)

Raspberry Pi 2 — The ARM-based single-board computer Raspberry Pi is supported too

Download

The latest development version is available on GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/dabamos/openadms-node

Or download the master branch directly as a Zip file. Release versions are available for download as well, but slightly outdated.

Please refer to the OpenADMS Node manual for further instructions.

Platforms and Operating Systems

OpenADMS Node runs on a broad range of computer platforms, like x86, x86-64, ARM, and MIPS. The software is compatible to all modern operating systems, including:

GNU/Linux,
Unix (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, …),
Microsoft Windows Vista/7/8/10,
macOS,
Android.

OpenADMS Node requires a recent Python 3 interpreter, either CPython 3.6+ or PyPy3.5+.
