Many chargers keep their internals a black box. Mirror does the opposite: datasheets are published, MQTT v5 topics, protobuf payloads, and telemetry fields read directly, and the firmware is open-sourced at go.ifanr.com/ionbridge-open-source. You can send commands by topic, subscribe to port power and temperature, and wire the whole charger into your own system.

MQTT topics separate end-user request, admin request, end-user response, admin response, and telemetry, so clients can see message direction and permission domain at a glance. Command payloads use public CommandRequest / AdminCommandRequest schemas, with explicit fields for power, ports, display, Wi-Fi, OTA, telemetry subscription, resources, licenses, and scheduled tasks.

The interface covers what actually gets used: device state, Wi-Fi, power strategy, port priority, PD status, port power, compatibility settings, custom PDO, cable compensation, display, OTA, resource management, licenses, scheduled tasks, and diagnostics.

The official cloud works out of the box; for full control, point MQTT at your own broker and Home Assistant, Node-RED, scripts, a local database, or a personal dashboard can all drive it. Local Prometheus / JSON and cloud MCP read the same device facts, so dashboards, scripts, and AI tools do not diverge.
