A communications system quantity. They have 7 layers and the focus is usually on two functions, the network and the application.

• Network Layers: The network (layers 1-6) defines the physical properties and how data is transferred. (An everyday example of a network layer is the telephone network which include cell phones, land lines, VoIP as network layers.)
   o Common networks for IoT include:
      • IP standards (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular, Long range RF networks such as SigFox, and Thread)
      • Other non-IP networks examples include the serial network RS-485 (used for BACnet MS/TP)
   o These layers require a language (application) to communicate before they can be leveraged.

• Application Layer: The application layer is the language on the network. (An everyday example of Application Layer for telephones is French / English / Spanish.)
   o Common Applications for IoT include: BACnet, KNX, Zigbee, Dot Dot Dot, Weave and IoTivity.
      • BACnet for example can run on RS-485, Wi-Fi and Thread.

Where data from IoT devices is stored.

A formal process to remove something from an active status.

The migration of computing applications, data, and services away from centralized nodes to the logical extremes of a network, enabling analytics and knowledge generation to occur at the source of the data.

Eliot is the Legrand connected objects program. Eliot program aims to inject the power of communication into Legrand’s products and services, wherever the Internet of Things can improve the user experience. Eliot also supports the development of suitable digital infrastructures for buildings and is doing everything it can to promote interoperability. The aim is to deliver additional benefits for all private and professional users, whether they are end users or installers.

Thing that makes something possible.

Consumer services and devices/apps allow people to track, control and monitor their gas/electricity consumption.

The means of linking a person’s identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. (Such as single sign-on (SSO), in which a user's single authentication ticket, or token, is trusted across multiple IT systems or even organizations. SSO is a subset of federated identity management, as it relates only to authentication and is understood on the level of technical interoperability.

An architecture approach that uses a collaborative multitude of end-user clients or near-user edge devices to carry out a substantial amount of temporary storage, communication, control, configuration, measurement and management.

An IoT gateway is a device that enables machine-to-machine communication by connecting appliances in the home, workplace or smart city to networks.

Devices or applications related to the fitness and wellness sector that seamlessly integrate with each other to create a strong customer experience.

Technologies and/or services that focus on monitoring and protecting the home as well as the remote and automated control of doors, windows, blinds and locks, heating/air conditioning, lighting and home appliances, and more.

The security disciple that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons.

Things that allow connected devices to connect permanently and securely within buildings.

Refers to lighting that has automated or mechanical abilities beyond those of traditional lighting, utilizing DC power and control delivered through partial or complete Ethernet based structured cabling, for improved efficiency and tailored user experience.

Ability of a product or system to communicate/work with other products or systems.

The Internet of Things is a network of uniquely identifiable endpoints (or “things”) that contain embedded technology to sense, collect, communicate and, exchange data locally or with external environments, without human interaction affecting our daily life.

Combination of network Infrastructure & active devices to support IoT environment: e.g. PoE, WAPs, gateways, edge devices, etc…

Protocols Include Network and Application layers (All 7 layers) Examples include: IoTivity, Zigbee, KNX, ZWave, BACnet MS/TP, EnOcean, Echelon, KNX-IP.
• Note I: Applications can run on different networks to form a protocol
• Note II: Primary benefit of IP and Iotivity is no translation required (eg. English to Spanish)
• Note III: Some solutions today use a layer and the network layer
• Note IV: Application translation requires driver development which requires constant updating

IP Convergence refers to the capability of the Internet to act as a single foundation for various functions that traditionally had their own platforms.

Responsible for transmitting the data collected by the physical layer to different devices.

The internet communication layer that enables the entity to communicate with their device, and sometimes enables devices to communicate with each other.

Familiar home networking technologies (high bandwidth/high power consumption), such as Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, as well as 3G and Long Term Evolution (LTE), are complemented with low-power consumption networking standards for devices and sensors that require low bandwidth and consume very little power, such as thermostats.

The hardware that makes an IoT device, including sensors and networking gear.

The consolidation and delivery of power and data over a single infrastructure, usually over category cabling.
• Note I: In the early 2000’s Telephony began its migration towards Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure, and Security which followed in the lat 2000’s. Today we are awaiting the High Voltage Electrical and Low Voltage Communication’s eminent migration
• Note II: IP convergence isn’t limited to voice and data. It includes video services as well (e.g. IP Cameras…)

Power Over Ethernet or PoE consists of several standardized systems which enable transferring data and power through a single Ethernet cable, from a power source equipment (PSE) to several low voltage powered devices (PD), such as cameras, VoIP phones, Wi-Fi routers and others.
• Note: Povers over HDBaseT (PoH) is a version of PoE specifically for multimedia applications, enabling up to 10.2 Gbps of uncompressed video and audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, control signals and power to all share the same cable, across distances up to 100 m, using RJ45 connectors.
