The Urban Data Platform dashboard with real-time data

urbanOS is the sovereign urban data and AI platform for German municipalities, developed by dataMatters GmbH in Cologne. It connects IoT sensors via LoRaWAN, NB-IoT and LTE to GDPR-compliant dashboards, automations and smart city apps — hosted entirely in Germany and in production use in seven municipalities.

Dashboards you will gladly show off.

Create dashboards per project, team or district and control visibility precisely: private, in groups, semi-public, or as a public showcase for your citizens. Curated dashboards from other municipalities sit right next to yours.

Seeing is good. Switching is better.

Most platforms only display readings. urbanOS also acts: sockets and actuators respond right from the widget, next to particulate gauges, door sensors and weekly heatmaps.

Edit with AI. Literally.

A new page, a new widget, a new measurement study: dashboards take shape in a dialog with the AI instead of configuration forms. The button ships in the product, not on a roadmap.

If X, then Y. No code.

Connect triggers and actions, done: window open? Email the caretaker. 8 pm? All sockets off. Every automation comes with a run history and a switch to pause it.

Your data belongs to you.

Plan tours with dozens of stops and hand them straight to HERE WeGo. And if you want to take something with you: GeoJSON and GPX export are built in. Open standards instead of vendor lock-in.
