ioT and The REST of Things...
ioT stands for Internet of things
Would be nice to have all devices connected in a coherent manner and build smart environments
How does one make... an Internet Thing?
internet things should beEasy to build
- decide on hardware to solve an automation problem
- acquire hardware and plug into network
- ensure hardware has web APIs
- wire up hardware
- implement solution using web tools
- deploy code onto device/access device via web API
- deploy app
things want to be the on the web..should design them for web from ground up.
discoverable, enumerable and introspectable
Missing pieces
- Device Image (firmware)
- WebService
- Device API
Device Image (firmware) that would support:
- some unique ID generation
- ping webService for registration
- support some magic factory reset sequence
WebService that would support:
- registration of bare device
- resolve/proxy address of registered device
- listing of registered devices
- set device name
- set tags on devices
Device API that would support:
- enumerating capabilities
- listing aditional capabilities
- provide a permission model
- identify hardware
- CORS support for aggregating multiple devices in a single page
- API to build ioT apps
Next:
- authentication regardless of IP
- automatic discovery
- custom image (firmware)
- extend to other platforms
