Embedded Linux Conference & OpenIoT Summit North America 2018

Mozilla envisions an open and decentralized Internet of Things, that puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe, and independent. To help fulfill this goal, Mozilla joined the W3C Web of Things Interest Group, with a goal of giving Things URLs on the web to make them linkable and discoverable, and to collaborate around standard data models and APIs to make them interoperable.

In this talk we present an open source implementation of an IoT Gateway (Mozilla “Things” Gateway), which is an important piece of the overall Web of Things framework. Having the framework run on an always-on embedded Linux device in the home means that consumer IoT data stays local, and private. We also describe example constrained device libraries that help bridge non-IP and non-standard Things to the gateway, where they can interact with other web Things.
