An open platform for your complete control

Unipi Edge controllers come with Base OS, an operating system based on the Debian 13 Linux distribution. This allows Unipi hardware to be easily integrated into your software or third-party solutions.

Support for Linux, Node-RED, IEC 61131-3 (Mervis), EVOK API, Yocto
Possibility to create your own OS based on Debian

The operating system can be easily reflashed and any supported software can be installed on the device with any supported software. Follow the instructions in our Knowledge Base.

Each Unipi Edge device has a unique password on its manufacturing label. Base OS automatically uses this password as the default for login (SSH), ensuring secure and quick commissioning immediately after unpacking.

Note for Mervis users: In addition to flashing the OS according to the instructions, the latest version of the IDE, at least 2.6.5 (177925), must be installed to get Unipi Edge running.

Use cases examples

The Unipi Edge series is designed for automation, regulation, and monitoring of building management systems (BMS), HVAC, photovoltaic power plant control, and home or industrial automation systems.
