Platypush is a general-purpose extensible platform for automation and

integration across multiple services and devices.
|
||||
|
||||
It enables users to create their own self-hosted pieces of automation based on events (*if this happens then do that*)
|
||||
and it provides a comprehensive and customizable user interface that collects everything you need to visualize and
|
||||
control under one roof.

interpreter, and the bar for the hardware requirements is very low as well - I use it to run pieces of automation on

devices as powerful as a RaspberryPi Zero or an old Nokia N900 with Linux.

The architecture of Platypush consists of a few simple pieces, orchestrated by a configuration file stored by default

under [`~/.config/platypush/config.yaml`](https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush/-/blob/master/examples/conf/config.yaml):

If a backend supports the execution of requests (e.g. HTTP, MQTT, Kafka, Websocket and TCP) then you can send requests
|
||||
to these services in JSON format. For example, in the case of the HTTP backend:
|
||||
They are background services that either listen for messages on channels (like
|

an [HTTP

If a backend supports the execution of requests (e.g. HTTP, MQTT, Kafka,
