This paper proposes a solution to the problem of connecting non-interoperable IoT protocols, standards and hardware and to achieve interoperability by providing a unified solution. The main goal is achieved by creating a IoT gateway along with a self-describing protocol which allows interoperability between heterogeneous devices and systems and provides secure communication capabilities. An experimental proof of concept was deployed, combining both hardware and software components, in order to demonstrate the solution’s capabilities and present the possible limitations. The proposed system is designed as a secure, open-source, vendor-agnostic and device-agnostic solution.
