nymea (/[n'aiːmea:]/ - is an open source IoT edge server. The plug-in based architecture allows to integrate protocols and APIs. With the built-in rule engine you are able to interconnect devices or services available in the system and create individual scenes and behaviours for your environment.

We have created an image for your Raspberry Pi that comes with an array of plugins for different smart devices!

Use the Raspberry Pi imager and select nymea as operating system. You'll have the choice between a headless nymea:core setup or a kiosk image that contains nymea:core and nymea:app for Raspberry Pis with touch screen.

Alternatively, the image can be downloaded and flashed manually from here. We recommend the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm core or kiosk image.

Manual download files of nymea:app can be found here.

A detailed description how to install and getting started with nymea can be found in the nymea | user documentation.

A detailed documentation on how to develop with nymea is available on the nymea | developer documentation.

When starting nymead as user without root privileges, the network device discovery will not available due to missing raw socket permission. If you still want to make use of this feature, the binary capabilities need to be adjusted.

sudo setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw=eip /usr/bin/nymead

This will allow nymead to create raw sockets for ARP and ICMP network discovery tools even when nymead gets started as user without root privileges.
