This module allows to input data from remote devices in your network. Currently, only websockets devices are supported, but it can be extended for any protocol like Webservices.
Other modules can extend this one in order to use the widget.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Lets Odoo read weights or measures directly from network-connected scales and devices, filling numeric fields automatically. Users configure devices, test connections, and pick a default device from the top bar.
This module adds a new "Remote measure device" configuration screen where you register each scale or measuring device with its name, unit of measure, protocol, connection type, network address, and reading behaviour (read immediately, keep reading continuously, and how long to wait between reads). Devices can be archived, listed, or shown as cards.
A "Test connection" button on the device form checks whether Odoo can reach the device over a direct network connection and shows a success or failure notification.
On any numeric field that uses the new remote measure widget, a small scale button appears. Clicking it starts reading from the device; the button changes colour while the value is unstable and turns green when the reading is stable. A plus button lets you add the new measure to the value already in the field. The measured value is automatically converted to the unit of measure expected by the field.
Users can set a preferred remote device in their preferences, and a balance-scale icon in the top bar opens a quick selector to change it. Only members of the dedicated group see that top-bar button.
Regular users can view device settings; only administrators can create, change, or delete them. The module works with the remote.measure.device, res.users, and res.users.settings models.

terminal Installation and usage
OCA documentation · Odoo 18.0Configuration
Source · Odoo 18.0To configure your remote devices:
- Go to Settings \> Technical \> Devices \> Remote devices
- Create a new one configuring the required info.
- If the devices has an special port, set it up in the host data: e.g.: 10.1.1.2:3210
If you want to see the button in the top bar to set the user's remote device, you need to have the "Show remote device button on navbar" group.
Usage
Source · Odoo 18.0The remote device has to be in the users network so their web clients can reach them.
In order to test a device you can:
- Go to Settings \> Technical \> Devices \> Remote devices
- In the Kanban view you'll wich devices can be reached as they'll have a green dot in their card.
- Go to one of those and click Edit.
- You can start measuring from the remote device in the Test measure field.
On the technical side, you can use the widget in your own Float`. You'll need to provide an uom field so records that aren't in that UoM don't measure from the device.
<field name="float_field" widget="remote_measure" options="{'remote_device_field': 'measure_device_id', 'uom_field': 'uom_id'}" />The users are able to change their default remote device by using the button with the balance icon set on the navbar.
