one to unite them all
DESCRIPTION
VSCP is a framework for automation that makes things that are different talk to each other. This is an introduction to the framework.TRANSCRIPT
One to unite them all
We believe in a world of IoT/M2M consisting of many protocols and many solutions and billions
of devices.
Still there is a need for...
...one way to discover them all....one way to configure them all.
...one way to interact with them all....one way to update firmware of them all.
&many ways to communicate with them all.
VSCPan open and free framework for
IoT & M2MSolving the needs.
one way to discover them all.
Each device have a globally unique id that can be constructed from an existing GUID.
Each device contains information about who built it, what it can do, how it can be made to do that
and much more.
one way to configure them all.
Each device export a register model. An abstraction well known from the electronics
industries and the IC circuits and very successful.
Scale well from the tiniest to the largest devices.
Well proven in billions of circuits.
one way to interact with them all.
A device send out well specified and directly understandable information.
A device can automatically be configured to react on “information” from other devices.
one way to update firmware of them all.
An abstraction for memory of a device is available and a well specified model for updating it lay the road for one way to remotely update firmware on
all devices.
The problem – part one
Every device of today send data packed in different ways where
you know nothing about the data.
Is it a temperature or just some random number?
Is the temperature given in Kelvin, Fahrenheit or Celsius?
????? ??? ?
The VSCP solution – part one
You know what you get and how to interpret what
you get.
The problem – part 2
Devices comes in many different shapes.
What can I do with them?
How can I make them do what I want!
The VSCP solution – part two
Ask the IoT devices themselves what they
can do for you.
Configure them all in the same way.
The problem – part 3
You want all your devices to interact with each other... Hmmmm... only
possible if you use one communication
protocol and one supplier.
The VSCP solution – part three
Everyone talks to each other.
Set up the interaction in one common way.
Any supplier, any protocol.
But...
Yes we know you have a solution for all this that is super nice and beautiful.
Good thing. You don't have to change anything.
Two choices.
Implement VSCP in your product besides your own solution. VSCP is so lightweight so this is
easily done.
Or
Build a driver that abstracts your device to the VSCP world. Works for legacy devices to.
Use as the only protocol for you solution
Fits in low resource devices and even in
silicon.
Use any protocol.
Choices
Use only the tools, software and APIs and make your device look
like a VSCP device.
A simple driver is all you need.
Choices
Use TCP/IP, MQTT, UDP, raw Ethernet.... to communication with all
VSCP devices and making your device look like a VSCP device to.
Choices
Use the websocket interface and the
JavaScript widget set to create nice UX experiences.
Choices
If we had time we would have told you everything that is possible with the
VSCP framework.
But we can't.

Not just a protocol.
