Protocols CoAP
Does Nodlyn support CoAP?
Constrained Application Protocol — lightweight IoT devices on UDP.
Compatibility answer
Yes — at the protocol level. Nodlyn can discover CoAP endpoints and register them for visual workflows.
Discovery can probe hosts for CoAP /.well-known/core on your subnet.
What CoAP support means in Nodlyn
CoAP is UDP-friendly for constrained IoT. Nodlyn can probe /.well-known/core on a subnet and use discovered resources in workflows — useful in labs and lightweight sensors that never speak full HTTP.
If your device documents CoAP resources instead of REST, this is the compatibility path; otherwise prefer HTTP/MQTT.
This page is a compatibility check (supported or not, how you connect). Step-by-step tutorials live on the blog when linked below — so Google (and readers) get one clear “how-to” URL.
Example automations with CoAP
- Lab CoAP resource → collect
- Constrained sensor → MQTT bridge
Quick start for CoAP
- Open Discovery → Online services (CoAP) or Advanced.
- Set host/subnet and scan.
- Use discovered resources in automations.
- Ideal for lab IoT and constrained sensors.

Can Nodlyn auto-discover CoAP devices?
Yes. Discovery can probe hosts for CoAP /.well-known/core on your subnet. You can also add endpoints manually if discovery is empty.
