| Abstract: | Recent research and standardization in the domain of the Internet of Things aims at providing IPv6 andWeb services on the most constrained devices. The constrained application protocol (CoAP) allows to provide RESTful Web services on limited devices by providing a protocol similar to HTTP that uses UDP as transport layer instead of TCP. This enables more efficient communication if non-reliable, asynchronous or group communication is required. Existing and mature home and building automation technologies like KNX, BACnet or ZigBee are based on non-IP communication and define a complete custom protocol stack. State of the art integration approaches usually offer a centralized Web service interface based on oBIX, OPC UA or BACnet/WS based on SOAP or RESTful Web services. This paper presents details on the concept and implementation of a transparent IPv6 multi-protocol gateway that closes this integration gap by offering an IPv6 per-device interface based on oBIX using a novel CoAP protocol binding and efficient XML interchange encoding. This allows a seamless integration of existing building automation devices and provides a uniform interface for control and monitoring applications. Simple control uses cases, out of the building automation domain, illustrate the ease of integration gained by this approach. |
