This paper proposes a ubiquitous middleware architecture enabling end devices to be easily used through software services. These services are available to end applications in a transparent and extensible manner using UPnP or a REST API. Internal modules are interconnected by ZigBee, which allows a mesh and auto reconfigurable internal network. Arduino is used to interconnect end devices to the middleware, allowing easy integration of devices by reading their state and executing actions on them.
