Hi Niepodam,On March 30, 2026, we published IOTMP as an active Internet-Draft at the IETF. IOTMP is the binary communication protocol that has been the backbone of Thinger.io for nearly a decade. It is not a new idea. It has spent years handling real telemetry, remote control, firmware updates, streaming, and interactive operations across all kinds of deployments — using PSON as its compact binary payload format. What is new is that we are now formalizing it, documenting it, and opening it to the world:
Over the years, IoT systems have evolved around multiple specialized protocols: MQTT for pub/sub, CoAP for constrained devices, HTTP for REST APIs, plus countless custom integration layers connecting everything together. IOTMP was designed to reduce that fragmentation through a single persistent, bidirectional, resource-oriented communication channel capable of handling: • Real-time telemetry All over one connection. We have now published a detailed technical article explaining how IOTMP works, how it compares to MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP, and why we believe it can become an open IoT communication standard. |
