Abstract

In this paper, we argue that instant messaging is suitable for smart home systems. We classify smart home services into three groups - standalone, simple co-work, and workflow -, identify requirements, and show why instant messaging is suitable for these services. Furthermore, we address three issues for applying instant messaging to smart home services: architecture, user interface, and message protocol. We adopt a combination of the peer-to-peer architecture for the internet-wide services and the centralized client-server architecture in the house. We propose an interpreter-based GUI for user interface of clients, and XML format for the communication message on the top of XMPP.
