Stakeholders

The newly added "Stakeholders" section highlights the benefits of domOS for various key players, including appliance manufacturers, system integrators, building facility operators, smart service developers and operators, IoT platform for smart buildings operators, and utilities.

With domOS, appliance manufacturers can easily integrate their products into third-party information systems, and system integrators can concentrate on their key business with easy connectivity. Building facility operators can now have a straightforward integration path with only description documents for the involved appliances, while smart service developers and operators have access to digital twins of buildings with energy models and locators to access monitoring and control points.

Platforms

The new "Platforms" page showcases the three platforms that have been upgraded to the domOS ecosystem specification: cloud.iO, S-IOT, and domOS-Arrowhead.

The domOS ecosystem is a specification based on existing and emerging IoT standards, allowing smart services for buildings to be decoupled from the underlying appliances and devices in buildings.

Cloud.iO is a scalable open-source Internet of Things solution that supports the connection of a vast number of devices to a central cloud platform. It enables applications to monitor and control things in real-time, and access the history of measurements and setpoints. Cloud.iO is an ideal mediation platform between distributed things and applications, offering state-of-the-art encryption and certificate-based authentication for all connections.

domOS-Arrowhead is a scalable open platform for enabling smart services to access domestic buildings and their installed devices. It acts as a mediator between the service, the building, and the devices, enforcing access control. An instance of the domOS-Arrowhead platform is run, administered, and hosted by a platform operator, while the building owner manages the building, devices, and access rights. domOS-Arrowhead uses the Arrowhead SOA industrial automation framework to implement its services.

S-IOT  is a decentralized approach to building IoT systems. The platform was developed by Appmodule with a focus on high security, availability, redundancy, and real-time requirements of mission-critical systems like smart grids.
