Abstract: | Recent research and standardization in the domain of the In- ternet of Things aims at providing IPv6 andWeb services on the most constrained devices. The constrained application protocol (CoAP) allows the deployment of RESTful Web services on limited devices by oering a protocol similar to HTTP that uses UDP as transport layer instead of TCP. This enables more ecient communication if non-reliable, asynchronous or group communication is required. Exist- ing and mature home and building automation technologies like KNX, BACnet or ZigBee are based on non-IP commu- nication and dene a complete custom protocol stack. State of the art integration approaches usually oer a centralized Web service interface based on oBIX, OPC UA or BAC- net/WS based on SOAP or RESTful Web services. This pa- per presents the concept of a gateway that allows the integra- tion of building automation systems into constrained REST- ful environments by an IPv6 per-device interface based on oBIX using a novel constrained application protocol binding with ecient XML interchange message encoding. This in- tegration approach provides a service-oriented architecture with uniform interfaces for control scenarios that span het- erogeneous technologies. The evaluation results show the ef- ciency of novel protocol bindings compared to state of the art protocol bindings and message encodings. Performance evaluation results prove that even interactive user control scenarios can be based on these Web service interfaces. |
