Driver-Box

What it does

Driver-Box is a lightweight edge gateway framework designed for IoT scenarios. It abstracts communication protocols for various devices and uses a plugin-based architecture to integrate industrial protocols, allowing AI agents to manage and monitor hardware devices in smart buildings, factories, and homes.

Tools

• get_device_status: Retrieves real-time data from connected IoT devices.
• send_device_command: Sends control signals to Modbus/BACnet/MQTT devices.
• list_available_plugins: Lists active protocol plugins (e.g., Modbus, BACnet).
• execute_lua_script: Runs custom Lua scripts for complex protocol parsing.
