The thingsboard_client package is a Dart implementation of the ThingsBoard API client, enabling seamless communication with the ThingsBoard IoT platform. It provides model objects and services to interact via RESTful APIs and WebSocket protocols, supporting real-time data streaming and device management. Designed for cross-platform use, it integrates smoothly into Flutter applications across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package simplifies IoT development by abstracting low-level HTTP and WebSocket interactions.
