Download NEXT HMI.
Two builds of the same code. Community is free and starts straight away. Enterprise adds your own branding and the audit trail, and starts once a licence key is pasted in.
AGPL-3.0-or-later. For running it on your own hardware, at any scale.
- Every feature: editor, runtime, historian, alarms, recipes, users, OPC-UA
- No key and no activation screen
- Portable zip: unzip, start, browse to localhost:8000
Download
From source? Install guide. First time? Three steps to a live screen.
Your download is starting.
Unzip it, start NEXT HMI and browse to localhost:8000. Shipping it on a machine? What to sort out first.
For machine builders who ship it to customers, and plants that answer to a regulator.
- Everything in Community
- Your own logo on the boot screen instead of ours
- No obligation to hand over source, for you or your customer
- Audit trail as an add-on, for plants that answer to a regulator
Download
Code-signed, and opens on an activation screen until a licence key is pasted in. No key yet? Request a 30-day trial key, free and without payment details.
Not sure which one you need? Run it in your own plant and Community is all you need. Ship it to customers and Community still works if you pass the source on with it; Enterprise if you would rather not, or want your own logo. Five situations, and what each one costs.
What changed in each release.
| Version | Date | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| 1.3.0 | 2026-11-13 | Keeps pace with large OPC-UA servers: pages open fast against tens of thousands of variables, values return within a second of a reconnect, struct arrays are read by position with their members and the browser redraws only what changed; the Linux download runs on Ubuntu 24.04 again. Projects stay at file format 12, so they still open in 1.2.0. Before you update: a datasource that signs in with a username over a secured OPC-UA endpoint waits until you click Trust certificate once, a site that shows NEXT HMI in a frame must be listed under Settings, a custom widget may import only from custom-widgets/ and external-libraries/, and a folder you bind-mount into Docker must be usable by uid 10001. Release notes |
| 1.2.0 | 2026-11-08 | Opens the HMI to the systems around it: API v1 with tokens for a MES or badge reader, bit bindings and a Byte type for status words, plus a Data Grid, value maps, page inputs, dialogs that move and an editor that keeps up with an AI assistant's changes. Projects are upgraded to file format 12 on first start, after you confirm it and a backup is taken, and then no longer open in 1.1.x. Behind a reverse proxy, pass the browser's Host with its port; list the server of an $http URL that takes it from a placeholder under Admin › HTTP sources; and create MCP tokens again, since one from 1.0 or 1.1 is refused. Release notes |
| 1.1.0 | 2026-10-31 | Built for touch panels: a themed numpad, Button Containers, Badges and an Alarm List that fits a touch screen, plus actions on a variable change and a Linux zip next to an offline Docker installer. Projects are upgraded to file format 11 on first start, after you confirm it and a backup is taken, and then no longer open in 1.0.x. A Number Input bound to a struct must be rebound to a plain Float or Integer. Release notes |
| 1.0.1 | 2026-10-24 | Fixes for OPC-UA browse and writes, most of them reported against CODESYS Control and SIMATIC S7-1500. The project file format is unchanged. Release notes |
| 1.0.0 | 2026-09-27 | The first stable release. Projects from a release candidate are upgraded to file format 9 on first start, after you confirm it and a backup is taken. Release notes |
| 0.0.1-rc2 | 2026-08-29 | Second release candidate. Fixes only, among them a blank Live View on a plain-HTTP install. Release notes |
| 0.0.1-rc1 | 2026-08-18 | The first public release candidate. Release notes |
