Dear Teltonika Support Team,
I am currently planning a small remote monitoring solution for water treatment units (CLRW )and would like to ask if the following architecture is feasible with the Teltonika router.
Each machine provides its operational values through an Ethernet interface and a local HTML webpage. Since there is no industrial protocol available, the idea is to use a Raspberry Pi connected via Ethernet to read the HTML page, extract the required values, and send them to a cloud backend.
The Teltonika Router would be used to provide internet connectivity via WIFI/LAN/SIM and to route the traffic from the Raspberry Pi to the cloud server.
The architecture would be roughly:
Machine (Ethernet HTML interface)
→ Raspberry Pi (data extraction)
→ Teltonika (WIFI or LAN or SIM connectivity)
→ Cloud backend
→ Web application for customers to view their systems.
My questions are:
-
Do you see any issues using the Teltonika Router in this type of setup?
-
Is this a common or recommended use case for the device?
-
Would you recommend a different Teltonika router or gateway model for this application?
The goal is to monitor multiple installations worldwide and allow customers to access their system data through a web application.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Greetings,
There shouldn’t be any issues at all. Our routers are fully capable of supporting this.
Yes, bridging local machine interfaces to cloud backends is quite common.
Since you haven’t mentioned a specific model in your post, I can suggest a few options. For your current setup, the best fit would likely be the RUT241 (https://www.teltonika-networks.com/products/routers/rut241)
If you need more ethernet ports and/or connection redundancy, the RUT951 (https://www.teltonika-networks.com/products/routers/rut951) is a good alternative, as it has 4 ethernet ports and dual SIM slots. Both of these models have global versions available.
You mentioned using a Raspberry Pi to parse the HTML data. You might be able to simplify your setup by removing it completely. RutOS supports custom scripts, meaning you could install Python and run your HTML parsing script directly on the router itself.
If you choose this route, I would recommend a device with a more powerful CPU and additional RAM, such as the RUTX11 (https://www.teltonika-networks.com/products/routers/rutx11)
Here you can find more information about custom scripts:
My answer is based on your text description, as the topology sketch you attached differs from it

Hello Justinas,
thank you for the information .
My goal is to use a single router platform that supports installing and running Python, allowing me to execute an HTML parsing script directly on the device. I have attached an example of the HTML data that needs to be processed and transmitted to a web application.
Since the system will be deployed globally, I require your guidance in selecting the appropriate hardware version. In particular, I am looking for a globally compatible model that supports multiple regions, cellular bands, and network standards .
As I am not an expert in this area, I would highly appreciate your support in identifying the most suitable solution. Reliability is a critical factor, as the routers will be used in medical systems.
Additionally, I would appreciate your recommendation on which router model you consider best suited for this use case, especially with regard to Linux/OpenWrt support, programmability, and long-term reliability in distributed dep loym ents.
Please advise which hardware variant and router model would best meet these requirements.
Thank you.
