Open House: How Open Platforms are Making Our Homes Smarter Our homes are smarter than ever before. Everyday objects are being connected to the Internet so we can monitor and control them from anywhere, but the end-user’s experience is fragmented due to closed systems and data silos. Dan Lieberman from SmartThings will talk about how open platforms will drive the growth of the Internet of Things and change the way that we interact with our physical world.

1. Open House: How Open Platforms
Are Making Our Homes Smarter

2. What is the Internet of Things?

3. Everything that can be connected to the network will be
connected.

4. The Physical Graph is a virtual representation of the Physical World

5. It makes the physical world programmable

6. By just about anyone, not limited to
firmware engineers.

7. What are the key layers of abstraction for the IoT?

8. One: The Physical Graph

9. The Physical Graph makes things easy, so we don’t have to know
how it REALLY works.

10. Two: Security & Privacy, Security … more Security

11. Three: Visibility & Control … of Things

12. This
Instead of This
# ask the switch to turn on the light
switchDevice.sendZclCommandNoAck(switchPort, switchEndPoint,
lightDevice, lightEndPoint,
ZCL_CLUSTER_ID_GEN_ON_OFF,
ZCL_FRAME_CLIENT_SERVER_DIR,
switchEndPoint.onCmd())
livingRoom.Switch1.On()
t = Timer(toggleDelay, name = ”On command watchdog")
t.start()
# we should get a notification
alt(
[
[ lightPort.RECEIVE(lightEndPoint.mw_incomingZcl(), value
= 'incomingZclMsg'),
lambda: t.stop()
],
[ lightPort.RECEIVE(),
lambda: REPEAT
],
[ t.TIMEOUT,
lambda: stop()
],
])
if value and value('incomingZclMsg')[1]:
_msg = value('incomingZclMsg')[1]
lightEndPoint.incomingZclCmd(lightPort, lightDevice, _msg[
'clusterId'],
_msg['cmdCode'], _msg['data'])

13. Four: Discovery & Intelligence – The application
of, well, “applications”

14. Five: Predictability

15. “Would you like me to close the
garage door automatically from now
on when you leave?”
“Would you like me to order new air
filters?”
“Shall I turn off the hot tub now?”
“Shall I turn off the lights in your
store?”
“Since you are near the market, did
you know that you need milk, eggs, …”

16. Putting it all together …
Predictability
Discovery & Intelligence
Visibility & Control
Security & Privacy
Physical Graph
Physical World

17. The landscape today is fractured

18. Functionality and data are locked in silos

19. 50 billion devices by 2020

20. Building Connections

21. Ad-hoc

22. Open Ecosystems

23. Standardization

24. Open federation standards are the missing link: the Internet of
Things needs its SMTP

25. True interoperability will create user value and drive growth
