Applications
reComputer R1013-10 is best positioned as an IoT gateway controller for environments where protocol handling, field communication, and remote system management are more important than heavy AI compute. It is especially suitable for smart building, BMS, energy monitoring, facility automation, RS485 gateway projects, and Home Assistant style edge integrations.
- Building automation with BACnet and Modbus communication across multiple field devices.
- Energy management systems that collect, route, and supervise meter or controller data over RS485.
- Home Assistant and Node-RED gateways for local automation, dashboards, and smart control workflows.
- Industrial IoT protocol gateways for Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, and remote device management.
- Remote wireless edge deployments that benefit from optional 4G, LoRa, or Zigbee connectivity.

FAQ
What is the difference between reComputer R1013-10 and R1025-10?
The R1025-10 sits higher in the same R1000 family. R1013-10 is the lighter 2GB RAM + 8GB eMMC configuration and is a better fit for simpler gateway, protocol, and automation workloads.
What is the difference between reComputer R1013-10 and R1035-10?
The R1035-10 gives you more performance headroom in the same broader gateway direction, while R1013-10 is the more entry-level option for basic smart building and industrial IoT control.
What is the difference between reComputer R1013-10 and R1125-10?
The R1125-10 belongs to a different R-series branch with a different interface emphasis. Choose R1013-10 when you specifically want the classic R1000 style of dual Ethernet, 3 x RS485, and smart-building-friendly gateway positioning.
