Avoid the Silos and Help Build the True Internet of Things
summary
Overview of specific IoT choices: compares transports—Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth Smart, Zigbee, Z‑Wave, Thread and LoRa/EnOcean energy‑harvesting sensors—and catalogues ecosystem moves like OCF consolidation replacing AllJoyn/IoTivity, Apple HomeKit’s MFi “tax”, and Samsung SmartThings’ curated success. Recommends an IP‑centric stack—IPv6 over 6LoWPAN on Thread/BLE/Wi‑Fi with MQTT or CoAP to cloud—and either a single open protocol or an open source translator of loosely coupled plugins; prototype shows translators can bridge protocols but break app‑layer security, requiring tradeoffs.
