What it is

Project MAG*Net is the spiritual successor to IoToneKit. It’s an IoT data sync and control app + a distributed server, designed to span Matter, Zigbee, Thread, HomeKit, BLE, and Wi-Fi without locking developers into a single platform.

The big tech vendors want lock-in; MAG*Net is the OSS counterweight.

What it ships

  • Runtime — C++ core that ingests data from IoT devices over multiple protocols and exposes a unified MQTT interface.
  • Firmware reference — ESP32 + Arduino tooling for the device side.
  • Cross-protocol sync — translate between protocol stacks without hardcoding a particular vendor SDK.
  • WebXR of Things — browser-first spatial UI reference design that drives Matter/Zigbee/Thread/BLE/Wi-Fi fleets over the MAG*Net stack. Submitted as a poster to MeaningfulXR 2026 (MXR26) by IoTone Japan, source on the dev/reference-designs/webxrofthings branch.

Status

Active. New protocol surfaces land roughly quarterly. Documentation site at projectmagnet.github.io.
