Infisical vs OpenMQTTGateway: at a glance
What is Infisical?
Infisical keeps building Agent Vault, now with inline access management and a proxy CA download.
Infisical tags a release every few days. v0.167.7 on November 8 adds inline access management and inline services on sessions to Agent Vault, its credential and proxy manager for AI agents, plus a proxy CA download and an E2B setup guide. The release also checks duplicate secret names server-side and tightens PKI role handling, after v0.167.6 added an MCP tool allowlist and stronger SSO controls.
What is OpenMQTTGateway?
OpenMQTTGateway returns after 22 months with a security-first 1.9.0.
OpenMQTTGateway shipped v1.9.0 on November 7, its first release since January 2025. It moves to the Arduino ESP32 core 3.x, ships Theengs Decoder 2.5.0 with a fix for a BLE advertisement parsing flaw affecting every earlier release, and hardens buffer handling across MQTT, HTTP, BLE and RF input. Upgrade notes warn that some Home Assistant unique_ids change and that encrypted BLE devices are skipped until a key is set.

Infisical
5.0INFRA · APIS
Infisical keeps building Agent Vault, now with inline access management and a proxy CA download.
◆ Current state
Infisical tags a release every few days. v0.167.7 on November 8 adds inline access management and inline services on sessions to Agent Vault, its credential and proxy manager for AI agents, plus a proxy CA download and an E2B setup guide. The release also checks duplicate secret names server-side and tightens PKI role handling, after v0.167.6 added an MCP tool allowlist and stronger SSO controls.
◆ Where it's heading
Agent Vault is the main growth area, gaining admin controls and integration guides release by release, while the secrets and PKI core gets steady polish. The E2B guide suggests Infisical is targeting sandboxed agent runtimes specifically.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Agent Vault integration guides for agent sandboxes and further access-control features in the next weekly releases.
OpenMQTTGateway
2.5INFRA · APIS
OpenMQTTGateway returns after 22 months with a security-first 1.9.0.
◆ Current state
OpenMQTTGateway shipped v1.9.0 on November 7, its first release since January 2025. It moves to the Arduino ESP32 core 3.x, ships Theengs Decoder 2.5.0 with a fix for a BLE advertisement parsing flaw affecting every earlier release, and hardens buffer handling across MQTT, HTTP, BLE and RF input. Upgrade notes warn that some Home Assistant unique_ids change and that encrypted BLE devices are skipped until a key is set.
◆ Where it's heading
Earlier releases made the gateway independent of controllers and external brokers. The return release is about safety and a modern ESP32 base rather than new features, which suggests the project is resetting its foundation before resuming feature work.
◆ Prediction
Expect the promised security advisory for the Theengs Decoder flaw and 1.9.x fixes for the Home Assistant entity changes; whether regular cadence resumes is not yet clear from the entries.
