ControlBird is now live. Deploy a fully managed automation instance in under two minutes and start connecting your devices, building dashboards, and automating your environment today.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Device connectivity is fragmented. Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, BACnet, DNP3, Zigbee, KNX: every protocol speaks a different language, requires its own tooling, and comes with its own learning curve. The result is a patchwork of vendor software, custom integration code, and growing operational complexity that only gets worse as you add more devices.
We built ControlBird because we believe there should be one platform that handles all of it, without requiring you to write code or stitch together half a dozen tools.
What Is ControlBird?
ControlBird is a real-time automation platform that unifies device connectivity, data visualization, and control logic in a single managed service. It provides visual builders for dashboards, rules, and device configuration, no code required.
Under the hood, a high-performance in-memory database delivers sub-millisecond updates across your entire system, whether you are monitoring a handful of sensors or thousands of industrial endpoints.
Key Capabilities
- Connect any device with support for 50+ protocols
- Build visual dashboards with drag-and-drop widgets
- Automate with visual rule builders, no scripting needed
- Monitor systems in real time with sub-millisecond latency
- Get instant alerts via email, webhook, or push notification
- Control access with role-based permissions (RBAC)
- Scale across locations from a single control plane
- Extend with JavaScript scripts when you need full flexibility
Who Is It For?
ControlBird is designed for anyone who needs to monitor or control connected devices, from hobbyists to enterprises:
- Smart home: Unify Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT, and KNX devices under one dashboard and automate routines visually.
- Vacation rental: Monitor energy usage, climate, and access control across properties from anywhere.
- Building management: Integrate HVAC, lighting, metering, and security systems with a single platform.
- Industrial automation: Connect PLCs, RTUs, and SCADA systems via Modbus, OPC UA, and DNP3 with enterprise-grade reliability.
What's Next
This launch is just the beginning. We are actively developing new protocol integrations, expanding our extension catalog, and improving the platform based on community feedback. Our roadmap is shaped by the people who use ControlBird every day, and we want to hear from you.
Follow our progress, report issues, and request features. We are building this together.
