How does OTA firmware update work?

You upload a new firmware binary and create an OTA campaign targeting a device group. The campaign rolls out to a configurable percentage of devices first. Devices check in, download the firmware, apply it, and report success or failure. Failed updates roll back automatically.

How do alert rules work?

Alert rules monitor telemetry streams against configured conditions (threshold, rate of change, absence of data). When a rule fires, notifications go to the configured channels (email, SMS, PagerDuty, Slack). Alert state (firing, resolved) is tracked with timestamps.

How is historical data stored?

Telemetry is stored in TimescaleDB (PostgreSQL extension for time-series data). Data is automatically compressed after 7 days and downsampled (5-minute averages) after 30 days. You can replay historical data for any device and time window in the dashboard.

The Challenge

Why building a IoT Dashboard from scratch is hard

Building a IoT Device Management & Analytics Platform from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing iot dashboard-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your IoT Dashboard needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready IoT Dashboard with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Device registry with metadata, firmware version, and location

Real-time telemetry streaming and visualization

Alert rules engine with multi-channel notifications

Remote command execution on connected devices

Firmware OTA update management with rollout control

Device grouping and fleet-level configuration

Time-series data storage and historical replay

Anomaly detection and predictive alerting

Architecture

How it's built

The generated IoT Dashboard follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for iot dashboard workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated iot dashboard modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all iot dashboard entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live iot dashboard status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for IoT Dashboard

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

devices (id, serial_number, model, firmware_version, location, lat, lng, status, last_seen_at, config jsonb, workspace_id)
telemetry (id, device_id, timestamp, metrics jsonb)
alert_rules (id, workspace_id, name, device_group_id, metric, condition, threshold, duration_seconds, severity, channels jsonb, is_active)
ota_updates (id, firmware_version, release_notes, target_group_id, status, started_at, success_count, failed_count)

FAQ

Common questions about building a IoT Dashboard

Devices publish telemetry messages to an MQTT broker (your own Mosquitto or a managed service like AWS IoT Core). The platform subscribes to device topics, parses messages, validates device identity, and stores data in a time-series database (TimescaleDB).
