Has anyone looked into adding XMPP support to the open-source meshblu framework? https://developer.octoblu.com/ I met the Octoblu folks recently and they were enthusiastic about adding XMPP support (well, about having someone else add it). Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/

Reference implementation
by Cramer, E.R. (Eelco) 21 Oct '14

Hi, I was wondering if (parts) of the IoT XMPP specifications and / or components that are used within the specification are already implemented as open source or otherwise? I'm particularly interested if there is some sort of a reference implementation of a "Thing Register". Best regards, Eelco Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.

Thoughts on XEP-0347 IoT - discovery
by Cramer, E.R. (Eelco) 14 Oct '14

Hi, I'm currently investigating options to implement something similar as the IoT registry that is described in XEP-0347 but I have some different requirements that I would like to share as they might help to improve this XEP. I would like to allowing more complex searches in the registry. For example I would like to be able to do spatial searches: - give me 10 temperature sensors closest to a given location. - give me all light-switches in a range of hundred meters around a given location. Following the current XEP I cannot ask such queries directly but should fire multiple queries and do all calculation in the client. Also I would like to do union searches so I do not have to calculate intersections myself: - give me all light-switches or light-dimmers closest to a given location. As these type of queries are more complex and not all registry servers might have implemented such a feature I would like to add the possibility to discover registry capabilities. This kind of discovery can be done using entity capability (XEP-0115). Also the current description XEP-0347 allows only meta-data that consist of numbers and strings but I would like to be able to have more options (including location). Maybe we can reuse the stuff that is in XEP-0004 data-forms (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0004.html#protocol-fieldtypes) and add XEP-0350 (data forms geolocation element). This would allow more semantical reasoning on the meta-data of a thing (like the example queries above). What do you think?
