1. Introduction

The availability of Internet Protocol (IP) on constrained devices with memory sizes of 16 kilobytes or

machines and connected devices, as http is for web browsers, but designed specifically for machine

interaction and operation over networks of constrained devices.

IPSO Smart Object Guidelines provide a common design pattern, an object model, that can effectively use

the IETF CoAP protocol to provide high level interoperability between Smart Object devices and

connected software applications on other devices and services.

Originally based on OMA LWM2M [1] Object model, IPSO Objects expand the definition it by means of

reusable resources. IPSO Smart Objects can be registered with the OMA Name Authority (OMNA)

enabling some degree of compliance between existing LWM2M and IPSO ones.

Actuators and 6 Control switch types.

Some of the new objects are generic in nature, such as voltage, altitude or percentage, while others are

more specialized like the Color Object or the Gyrometer Object. New Actuators and Controllers are

defined such as timer or buzzer and Joystick and Level. All of these objects were found to be necessary on

a variety of use case domains.

The IPSO Alliance is committed to making it easy for people to create new objects based on their use case

needs, while promoting reusable and cross-domain standards to as great an extent as is practical.

2. IPSO Smart Object Summary

IPSO Smart Objects are based on the object model specified in OMA LightWeight M2M [1] Chapter 6,

embedded software contained therein.

This document defines a set of IPSO Smart Objects, which conform to the OMA LWM2M Object Model,

and which can be used as data objects, or web objects, to represent common sensors, actuators, and data

sources.

Table 1 Summarizes the Objects defined by this Technical Guideline.
