Connected Device Management Framework

WSO2 IoT Server

IoT Device

● Piece of hardware● Built for a purpose● Capable of a limited functionality● Control interface● Input/output● Consumes power● Constrained Environment

Characteristics

Summary● Functional Capabilities (Actuators)● Administration Capabilities (Management)● Monitoring Capabilities (Sensor Data)

Modeling Device as an API

● eg : HTTP API (not limited to)○ Lock

■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/door1lock/staus■ POST http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/door1lock/lock

○ Temperature Sensor■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/sensors/temperature1

○ Motor■ POST http://{ip}/{locationid}/actuators/motor1/rotate/{turns}/{direction}

■ GET http://{ip}/{locationid}/actuators/motor1/status

**

Advantages - Devices as APIs● APIs - Standard Integration Pattern○ Heterogenous devices■ protocols, access control mechanisms, data formats

● App Developers - Already familiar programming paradigm

● Seamless Integration with existing systems● Ability to re-user known patterns for securing, hardening

APIs● API Economy

Writing Device Plugins

IoT Analytics

IoT Analytics

● How fast do you results?

● How much data to keep?

● Hindsight, insight, foresight

● Acting on data/events

WSO2 Data Analytics Server

“A Framework for processing data to create hindsight, insight and foresight”

Currently Support for protocols

● MQTT

○ Topic per device instance

○ Single topic for IoT Server

● XMPP

○ Jabber account per device instance

● Web sockets

○ Device -> Event Listener -> CEP Output Adaptor (Web

Sockets)

● HTTP

○ HTTP server @ device gateway end

○ CoAP like

Security Challenges

How enterprises can use IoT Platform?

● Device Management

● On boarding new device types with custom

transport/protocol needs

● Performing Analytics on existing device data streams

● Device to middleware integration

● Device to Application lifecycle management via APIs
