Standard Open Source Cloud APIs for the Smart Home

A new world of services emerges from the data and functions delivered by the growing variety of connected things – devices, sensors, actuators – potentially available in the Home. Several products are now giving hints of this new era. Orange and Deutsche Telekom are for instance selling smart home products in several countries of their commercial footprint. The presentation will provide a vision of an open end-to-end architecture providing standard APIs on a service platform to connect and support semantic interoperability for any application and any device. The implementation of oneM2M standard features by T-Labs and Orange Labs will be detailed, including the use of their respective industrial product artefacts. Both companies have especially aligned the APIs of their prototypes. For instance, they are showing a unique abstraction layer with oneM2M data models using the oneM2M Smart Device Template. Privacy management leverages oneM2M Access Control Policy management and a Dynamic Authorization System. T-Labs and Orange Labs are contributing to Eclipse IoT projects, especially OM2M and SmartHome, as well as to the oneM2M standardization and other initiatives.
