The applications in IoT are more and more diverging. every application creates yet another Api, and integrators are creating yet another Api... using the well known xmpp standard governs for a solution on this.

The Big question nobody asked
BUT it’s XML !!???
• XEP 322 http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0322.html
• W3C binary compression EXI http://www.w3.org/TR/exi/
• Very efficient
• Small devices can do binary stanzas without building xml only C
stubs
• And still valid XML

About Joachim Lindborg
•Currently CTO of sust.se, I'm a technology enthusiast that
believe that IoT is really about human interaction with systems
adding value to life and that closed systems will die in favor for
open one.
•For the past 15 years I have been working with system
integration, especially at the intersection of energy and IT. I was
one of the founders of homesolutions.se a start-up company
integrating systems for supervision and maintenance of buildings.
•In the IT boom during the late 1990s I was employed by the
swedish Utility Vattenfall to develop solutions for the smart home.
It was an exciting time but it ended in disappointment. Now we
are back again and with Internet of Things and a more stable
technology I do believe that this time we will succeed. Right now I
am working with companies in home security, heating and air
conditioning, with energy companies and service developers in a
project integrating all these technologies with sound business
models for smart home services for energy control and efficiency.
