Core Architecture Concept

The framework is built around three fundamental concepts, decoupling the infrastructure from your business logic:

• Core (esp_iot_framework_core) - The ecosystem engine. It handles connectivity, security, and device resilience. Anything built on top of Core inherits these critical properties for free.

• Nodes - The abstraction of a network unit built on top of Core. A Node implements a specific interaction pattern with the outside world — whether it is a web interface, an industrial protocol, or a cloud bridge. It hides the complexity of network interaction and provides a clean layer for business logic development.

  Examples of nodes:

  • Device (esp_iot_framework_device) - A foundational network node based on Espressif chips, designed for building fully manageable end IoT products.

• End Devices - A Node augmented with your product's business logic. Smart bulbs, relays, sensors, actuators — any target scenario boils down to implementing that single, unique logic on top of the chosen Node.

Storage, documentation and mirrors

To protect against network restrictions, blockages, and infrastructure failures, the project source code and technical documentation are synchronized between independent platforms.
