@jesslynnrose I started working with DreamFactory just a few months
ago. We’ve seen some really cool uses for our platform with enterprise IoT, so I sat down to try to start learning more about M2M and IoT but noting really triggered that part on my brain that drives me into obsessive learning. I would go through really informative materials like the 451 white papers and still not

@jesslynnrose OD(p)D Obsession driven personal development

@jesslynnrose I want to tell you a short story about
how I became obsessed and why I want to start a larger conversation about IoT interconnectivity and interoperability. It’s a love story. It’s a

@jesslynnrose

@jesslynnrose Amazing!

@jesslynnrose [I want to tell you a love story I
love the internet I love loads of things But until fairly recently I was :/ about IoT]

@jesslynnrose Amazing! What can I do with it that I’m
not supposed to?

@jesslynnrose But what if you don’t care about this piece
of hardware?

@jesslynnrose https://www.quirky.com/invent/243958 Talk about this bit of hardware. Then talk
about need to move past individual bits of hardware.

@jesslynnrose IoT needs to be led by clear, shared standards.
Then by software and platforms. Hardware should be interchangeable.

@jesslynnrose “The Internet of Things is currently beset by product
silos. To unlock the commercial potential there is a need for open ecosystems based upon open standards.” -W3C

@jesslynnrose Conﬂicting standards != No standards • IETF Internet Engineering
Task Force • WC3 World Wide Web Consortium • OASIS Org for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards • OMA Open Mobile Alliance • Near countless proprietary standards

@jesslynnrose For IoT to scale with a diverse range of
connected devices, we need to lead with shared standards and processes.

@jesslynnrose Without standardised connectivity between diverse IoT hardware you don’t
have a real internet of things. You have the internet and some things.

@jesslynnrose The most powerful hardware producers have little incentive to
eliminate silos. Standardisation needs to be driven from external demand.

@jesslynnrose Why use REST for IoT? • Security • Generic
nature • In common use across different contexts • Scalability • Maturity of REST model • Low barrier to entry for internal and external talent across skill levels, communities or contexts

@jesslynnrose ‼* [I’m going to talk for a bit about
how DF works and how I could see it working in a consumer facing IoT setting. But I’m massively biased. I love DF. If you don’t think this open source product is the best ﬁt for API-ifying the IoT, I respect that and would love to hear about other platforms or

@jesslynnrose APIs at Scale

@jesslynnrose

@jesslynnrose [Spagetti img, history of how we developed it. But
to my Ringly obsessed self, this map of connected apps might be better seen as a map of connected consumer IoT devices in an environment. The same standardised API layer that lets enterprises streamline their development processes could create a

@jesslynnrose

@jesslynnrose What are our aims in greater IoT interconnectivity?

@jesslynnrose Where do we need to place our priorities to
achieve these goals?

@jesslynnrose Hardware led? Software led? Standards led?

@jesslynnrose Standards emerging from practice? Best practice and standards to
lead practice?

@jesslynnrose Who do we trust to set shared standards?

@jesslynnrose What level of openness can we reasonably expect or
demand in commercial IoT?
