IoTSysteme

IoTSysteme is a generic term for the architecture and ecosystem of Internet of Things deployments, spanning physical devices, networks, cloud and edge computing, and applications that gather, analyze, and act on data from sensors and actuators.

Typical IoTSysteme designs include a perception layer of sensors and devices, a connectivity layer with gateways and network protocols, an edge or fog computing layer for local processing, and an application layer that provides services, analytics, and user interfaces. A data management layer handles storage and governance, while device management covers provisioning and security.

Common communication protocols are MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP/REST for device-to-cloud messaging, with transport options such as Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, Zigbee, Z‑Wave, Bluetooth Low Energy, and LoRaWAN. Interoperability is pursued through standards like OneM2M, LwM2M, and OCF, alongside JSON or CBOR data formats, though fragmentation remains an issue.

Security and privacy are central concerns in IoTSysteme. Key practices include strong authentication, access control, encryption in transit and at rest, secure boot, and regular over‑the‑air updates. Data ownership, residency, and regulatory compliance influence deployments, especially for consumer devices and industrial installations.

Applications span smart homes, industrial IoT (IIoT), smart cities, agriculture, healthcare, and logistics. Deployments require attention to scalability, latency, reliability, and ongoing maintenance, including monitoring, software updates, and incident response.

IoTSysteme emerged in the 2010s alongside cloud platforms and affordable sensors, leading to diverse ecosystems and vendor-specific approaches. Ongoing efforts from industry groups and open‑source projects aim to improve interoperability, security, and portability across devices and services.
