Product Roadmap

The foundation of OceanRemote. Devices communicated via simple HTTP GET requests every 3 seconds. Basic but functional — the first step that proved the concept.

• ✅ Devices polled server every 3 seconds for commands
• ✅ Simple REST API for device state updates
• ✅ No persistent connections — worked on any network
• ✅ Perfect for low-bandwidth environments
• ✅ Demonstrated the core "remote control" value proposition

Never miss a critical event. Real-time push notifications when your sensors exceed thresholds. Your plants, equipment, and devices tell you when something is wrong — before it becomes a disaster.

• ✅ Per-device, per-sensor configurable thresholds
• ✅ Real-time WebPush notifications to desktop and mobile browsers
• ✅ Smart cooldown system — no spam, just critical alerts
• ✅ Multi-condition alerts: temperature above/below, humidity, soil moisture, rain detection
• ✅ Alert history with read/unread tracking
• ✅ Works while you sleep — your farm never stops monitoring

LIVE NOW. ESP32, ESP8266, and Pico W devices now communicate via MQTT protocol over TLS 1.3 encryption on port 8883.

• ✅ MQTT broker integration
• ✅ TLS 1.3 encryption with Let's Encrypt certificates
• ✅ MAC-based session binding for security
• ✅ Quality of Service (QoS) level 0 and 1 support
• ✅ Reduced latency from 3s polling to sub-100ms real-time

LIVE NOW. Instant updates to your dashboard. No page refresh needed. Commands reach devices in under 100ms.

• ✅ Real-time device status updates
• ✅ Live sensor data streaming
• ✅ Instant relay control feedback
• ✅ WebSocket connection pooling
• ✅ Automatic reconnection on network issues

LIVE NOW. Securely transfer device ownership to another OceanRemote user. Perfect for selling devices, team collaboration, or gifting IoT projects.

• ✅ One-click device ownership transfer
• ✅ Email notification to recipient and sender
• ✅ Preserves sessions, tokens, and automation rules
• ✅ Full audit logging for security
• ✅ Device works immediately for new owner — no reflashing needed

LIVE NOW. Set automatic rules that trigger relays when sensor thresholds are crossed. Your devices react instantly — no dashboard open needed. The server handles everything in the background.

• ✅ Create rules like "If soil moisture below 30%, turn ON water pump"
• ✅ Two deactivation types: Timer (run for X seconds) and Hysteresis (stay ON until value returns)
• ✅ Works with temperature, humidity, soil1, soil2, and rain sensors
• ✅ Cooldown system prevents rapid on/off cycling
• ✅ Rules automatically transfer with device ownership — no extra steps
• ✅ Server runs in background — no browser needed for automation to work

LIVE NOW. Automation rules are stored directly on your ESP32, ESP8266, and Pico W devices. Your devices continue working even when the internet goes down — they execute rules locally from flash memory.

• ✅ Rules stored in EEPROM on the device itself
• ✅ Device executes rules locally every 5 seconds — no server needed
• ✅ Supports both Timer and Hysteresis deactivation offline
• ✅ Cooldown system works offline — prevents rapid cycling
• ✅ Automatic sync: when internet returns, device reports actions to server
• ✅ One-click "Push Rules" button to instantly sync rules to any device
• ✅ Works on ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi Pico W

LIVE NOW. Support for up to 2 soil moisture sensors and rain detection on all device types.

• ✅ Soil Moisture Sensor 1 and 2 (0-100% percentage)
• ✅ Rain detection with intensity percentage (0-100%)
• ✅ Per-sensor calibration values for dry/wet thresholds
• ✅ Real-time WebSocket updates for all sensors
• ✅ Works with ESP32, ESP8266, and Pico W

LIVE NOW. Adjust temperature readings with per-device offset calibration. Match your device readings to a reference thermometer.

• ✅ Per-device temperature offset (±°C)
• ✅ Calibrated values displayed on dashboard
• ✅ Automation rules use calibrated values for consistency
• ✅ Alert notifications use calibrated values
• ✅ Simple slider control on each device card

LIVE NOW. Google Charts showing historical sensor data. Fixed 24-hour daily view with 5-minute intervals and full date range history.

• ✅ Fixed 24-hour timeline (00:00 to 23:55) with 5-minute data points
• ✅ Date range picker for custom history views
• ✅ Dynamic sampling based on range length (5 min, 1 hour, 4 hour intervals)
• ✅ Temperature, Humidity, Soil 1, Soil 2, and Rain charts
• ✅ Dark mode support with automatic color adaptation
• ✅ Per-device history toggle in admin panel
• ✅ Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds for live view
• ✅ Fully responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile
