Internet of Things: a new Interoperable IoT Platform. Application to a Smart Building

According to statistics provided by Cisco, the Internet of Things market will grow rapidly and will reach 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020. All these connected devices, in smart Home/Building should make life easier, sweeter and more enjoyable. Ideally, each device must work immediately and not require people to try to make them work. However, connected things come from different manufacturers using different protocols of communication. The diversity of protocols and sometimes their incompatibilities stay a major issue. Although, efforts have been made in recent years to improve the compatibility of the protocols, but these interactions remain limited. One solution to address this issue is to use an Internet of Things (IoT) platform to facilitate their interaction, control them intelligently using a web interface or a voice assistant. In this paper, we define connectivity requirements to improve interoperability between devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoT). An implementation of a Web application and virtual assistance that ensures interoperability regardless of form factor, operating system, service provider or transport technology, creating a ”network of everything”
