Abstract

The integration of the various home devices into a single, multi-service, and user-friendly platform is still an area of active research. In this scenario, we propose a domotics framework based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and on a SIP-based Home Gateway (SHG). The SHG retains the compatibility with the existing SIP infrastructure, allowing the user to control all domotics devices through his usual SIP client. Particular attention has been paid to the usability and scalability of the system, which brought us to define a functional addressing and control paradigm. A working prototype of the SHG and a customized SIP event package have been used to provide a proof-of-concept of our architecture, in which the SHG has been interfaced with ZigBee and Bluetooth networks.

Footnotes
1
The domotics system can smoothly exploit the SIP security options. Details about these options and their impact on the system performance can be found in [2].
 
2
A “transaction” consists of a message that invokes a particular method on the server and at least one response message.
 
3
The ZCL is a set of attributes, data, and commands used to speed up the application development.
 
4
An endpoint is a logical wire connecting distributed applications residing on different nodes.
 
5
This is a fictitious address valid for the proof-of-concept only.
 
6
According to the ZCL specifications, the sensor is not required to confirm neither the reception nor the execution of the command. A MAC layer acknowledgment frame is indeed sent back, but obviously this does not carry any application layer information.
 
7
Clearly, in a realistic domotics environment, the content would be stored on a dedicated streaming server, or come from a remote repository or service provider, but for the purposes of the test this does not make much difference.
