Description
Summary:The Internet of Things envisions integration, coordination, communication, and collaboration of real-world objects in order to perform daily tasks in a more intelligent and efficient manner. To comprehend this vision, this article studies the design of a large-scale IoT system for smart grid application, which constitutes a large number of home users and has the requirement of fast response time. In particular, we focus on the messaging protocol of a universal IoT home gateway, where our cloud enabled system consists of a back-end server, a unified home gateway (UHG) at the end users, and a user interface for mobile devices. We discuss the features of such an IoT system to support a large-scale deployment with a UHG and real-time residential smart grid applications. Based on the requirements, we design an IoT system using XMPP and implemented in a testbed for energy management applications. To show the effectiveness of the designed testbed, we present some results using the proposed IoT architecture.
