obniz Cloud — Device Management Platform

Manage every device.
Control it from anywhere.

The cloud service that manages your fleet of obnizOS devices.

Access many devices at once and control them bi-directionally from anywhere. It handles device authentication and exposes MCP / APIs / SDKs — and includes a beginner-friendly online dev environment.

Your code runs on the server, and your devices are controlled through the cloud.

Where it sits

Where this fits in obniz

obniz is made of three products — obnizOS devices, obniz Cloud, and obniz Now — and our solutions combine them for each customer.

Why obniz Cloud

Spend 99% less time
wrestling with hardware.

Firmware, MQTT brokers, device authentication, OTA updates — obniz Cloud takes care of the 90% of IoT work nobody wants to do.

Fleet Management

Manage your devices as one fleet

Register obnizOS devices regardless of count or location, and see status, versions, logs, and traffic in one view. Device authentication and OS update delivery are handled on the cloud side.

Bidirectional Control

Many devices at once, from anywhere

Connect to multiple devices from a single piece of code and exchange data and commands in real time, both ways. From the office or from an AI agent, the same path reaches the field.

MCP / API / SDK

Reach it from MCP, APIs, and SDKs

REST / GraphQL / WebSocket APIs and a JavaScript SDK, plus an MCP server so Claude and other AI agents can operate devices directly. The beginner-friendly online dev environment lets you start in the browser today.

Platform Overview

One device,
one API.

Operate any obnizOS-equipped hardware through the same authentication and the same API — regardless of model, location, or network.

Platform Features

From PoC to production,
on the same stack.

The development you start with one device scales as-is to tens of thousands.

Device management

  • Device authentication and access-token management
  • Install and update obnizOS remotely
  • Transfer device ownership (easy to manage after sale)
  • Visibility into traffic, connectivity, and errors

Developer experience

  • Online dev environment — build and run in the browser
  • JavaScript SDK (Node.js and browser)
  • Works with GitHub Pages, Vercel, and custom domains
  • Parts library covering 100+ popular sensors

Security

  • TLS 1.2 with elliptic-curve crypto (browser-grade)
  • Permissions per API key and token
  • Microcontroller-based — immune to kernel-level malware
  • End-to-end encrypted communication

Scale

  • Same API from a 1-device PoC to tens of thousands in production
  • Choose your region — Japan and overseas
  • Usage-based pricing — no over-provisioning
  • SLAs and enterprise support available

Integrations

Any language,
the way you already write it.

JavaScript is the first-class SDK. With REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket, you can also reach obniz from Python, Go, Rust, Swift, and any other language.

Webhooks for external services and MCP for AI integration are supported, so obniz drops into your existing workflow.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q. How is obniz Cloud different from obniz Now?
obniz is made of three products: obnizOS devices, obniz Cloud, and obniz Now. obniz Cloud is the service that manages your fleet — multi-device access, bi-directional control, device authentication, and MCP / APIs — but data storage, user management, and screens are up to you. obniz Now builds on obniz Cloud and adds data storage, user management and invitations, and end-user screens. Choose Cloud if you are building your own application; choose Now if you want to be operational right away.
Q. Can I try it for free?
Yes. Developer registration is free, and you can create an account instantly at obniz.com. With a small number of low-frequency devices you can run on the free tier; for production you can choose between usage-based and flat-rate plans.
Q. Which languages can I use?
JavaScript is our first-class SDK and runs on both Node.js and the browser. GraphQL, REST, and WebSocket are also supported, so any language — Python, Go, Rust, Swift, and others — works just as well.
Q. Does it work offline?
obniz Cloud is a cloud service that assumes a persistent connection, but devices can buffer data locally and retry on reconnect. If full offline operation is required, we can propose a hybrid setup using Lua on the device.
Q. Can I embed it into my own product?
Yes. You can build obnizOS-equipped hardware (Intelligent Edge, BLE Gateway, obniz Board) into your production products. Enterprise features such as API key issuance, custom domains, and white-label support are also available.
Q. What about security certifications?
TLS 1.2 with elliptic-curve crypto for transport, token-level permissions, and microcontroller-based hardware that resists kernel-level malware are included by default. Contact us about specific security requirements.
