This paper presents a novel methodology to control Internet of Things (IoT) devices synchronized with digital TV (DTV) signal dynamic video flow. Through this approach, broadcasters can send commands to digital TV receivers and produce multiples physical effects on IoT devices paired with TV sets. Among IoT devices examples, are: smart lamps, robotic seats, smart watches, wearable devices, etc. Those devices will synchronously react with the video scene, according to the IoT command type received by TV set. With this methodology, broadcasters may multiplex multiple IoT commands and be able to produce several effects at same time, through different IoT devices, creating a home multi-dimensional environment. In case there is any command that does not correspond to any paired device on receiver side, or the command is corrupted, the same is simply discarded. The validation of this methodology is based on the development of a receiver embedded system to detect signalization of IoT commands, Data filtering and IoT device control through Smart TV. The IoT devices control is sync with video scene and is based at time stamps added to the DTV signal. Furthermore, to check transceiver channel behavior, a transport stream benchmark, composed by IoT commands data flow multiplexed with audio and video medias in multiple complexity levels, was generated. Lab experiments with transmission tests and IoT devices control results shown technical feasibility to use this methodology in a real digital TV environment.
