Pre-release
A consistent control plane for the Internet of Things
A bridge runs beside your equipment and only dials out. One definition gives each Thing REST, WebSocket, MCP and a Thing Description.
01 One control plane
One definition, four interfaces
A definition lists what a device can do and how the bridge reaches it. Nodelets gives every Thing the same interfaces from that one file, whether it speaks HTTP or MQTT.
- REST
PUT /nodelets/nl_4f2a…/properties/setpoint - WebSocket
observeproperty temperature - MCP
read_property temperature - Thing Description
"temperature": { "type": "number" }
02 Nothing opened, nothing changed
The bridge only dials out
No inbound port, new firmware, vendor gateway or hub. The bridge keeps addresses and topics on site, and the cloud holds what each device can do.

03 Clear limits
Nothing else can be called
The cloud can call only what a definition declares. Each credential reaches only the Nodelets and operations it was given. Each command goes out once, and a failed one says what happened.
not-executedThe device didn't act. Nothing reached it, it refused, or a read timed out.
unknownThe device may have acted and nothing confirmed it. Nodelets says so and doesn't guess.
PERMISSION_DENIEDThe credential doesn't cover this operation. The cloud refuses it, and an owner can see the attempt.
04 What it doesn't do
Where Nodelets stops
- It is not for control loops or safety functions. Every operation crosses the cloud, so those stay on the local controller.
- It doesn't find devices. Each kind of device needs a definition, and a capability is never inferred.
- It has two drivers, HTTP and MQTT. MQTT devices have properties only, with no live values, credentials or TLS yet.
- It isn't generally available. Nodelets is pre-release and runs on staging.
