“…In academic research, the major rival of MQTT is XMPP, but most XMPP-based home automation developments [ 44 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 ] were published before MQTT became an ISO standard [ 89 ]. Other messaging protocols have not had relevant success in home automation, although, for instance, some researchers optimized JMS performance [ 90 ] or proposed using AMQP through RabbitMQ [ 91 ].…”

In recent years, the improvement of wireless protocols, the development of cloud services and the lower cost of hardware have started a new era for smart homes. One such enabling technologies is fog computing, which extends cloud computing to the edge of a network allowing for developing novel Internet of Things (IoT) applications and services. Under the IoT fog computing paradigm, IoT gateways are usually utilized to exchange messages with IoT nodes and a cloud. WiFi and ZigBee stand out as preferred communication technologies for smart homes. WiFi has become very popular, but it has a limited application due to its high energy consumption and the lack of standard mesh networking capabilities for low-power devices. For such reasons, ZigBee was selected by many manufacturers for developing wireless home automation devices. As a consequence, these technologies may coexist in the 2.4 GHz band, which leads to collisions, lower speed rates and increased communications latencies. This article presents ZiWi, a distributed fog computing Home Automation System (HAS) that allows for carrying out seamless communications among ZigBee and WiFi devices. This approach diverges from traditional home automation systems, which often rely on expensive central controllers. In addition, to ease the platform’s building process, whenever possible, the system makes use of open-source software (all the code of the nodes is available on GitHub) and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware. The initial results, which were obtained in a number of representative home scenarios, show that the developed fog services respond several times faster than the evaluated cloud services, and that cross-interference has to be taken seriously to prevent collisions. In addition, the current consumption of ZiWi’s nodes was measured, showing the impact of encryption mechanisms.

“…Today's trendy instant messaging service WhatsApp, which is also based on XMPP technology, although customized to fit their needs, now has over 350 million monthly users. XMPP is also utilized as a basis for many other commercial products and solutions, and is used, e.g., in gaming, geolocation and cloud computing [37], but also in sensing of campus areas [42], smart cities [43] and home environments [44], [12], [45], public transport [46], disaster management [47], [48], to retrieve Internet Abuse handling related information, in smart grids [49] and cyber security exercises, and in medical instruments and systems to monitor patients [6], [50], [51]. The potential of the XMPP technology is huge and, as we can see, some of the biggest companies are utilizing that potential on their top end products and services.…”

An ever increasing number of interconnected embedded devices, or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, are changing the way we live, work and play. M2M systems as a whole are typically characterized by the diversity in both the type of device and type of network access technology employed, and such systems are often still today task-specific and built for just one specific application. Smart lighting, remote monitoring and control of all kinds of consumer devices and industrial equipment, safety and security monitoring devices and smart health and fitness products, exemplify this revolution of intercommunicating machines. However, the differences in communication technologies and data formats among such devices and systems are leading to a huge complexity explosion problem and a strongly fragmented market, with no true interoperability. Due to these problems, the full potential of M2M technology has yet to be fulfilled. In this paper, we examine the suitability of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) and experiment with its potential to rise to the challenge of machine-to-machine communications and meet the needs of modern pervasive applications. Experimental implementations and some proof-of-concept solutions are also presented.
