Abstract

In this paper, we present an implementation work of sensing and actuation capabilities for IoT devices using the oneM2M standard-based platforms. We mainly focus on the heterogeneity of the hardware interfaces employed in IoT devices. For IoT devices (i.e., Internet-connected embedded systems) to perform sensing and actuation capabilities in a standardized manner, a well-designed middleware solution will be a crucial part of IoT platform. Accordingly, we propose an oneM2M standard-based IoT platform (called nCube) incorporated with a set of tiny middleware programs (called TAS) responsible for translating sensing values and actuation commands into oneM2M-defined resources accessible in Web-based applications. All the source codes for the oneM2M middleware platform and smartphone application are available for free in the GitHub repositories. The full details on the implementation work and open-source contributions are described.
