An oneM2M Interworking Proxy Entity for ECHONET Lite Protocol

ECHONET Lite, a leading protocol in Japan smart homes, is getting more attention, especially in European countries. However, it lacks interoperability with service platforms and the support of standard APIs for service developers as well. This paper introduces a solution to handle ECHONET Lite device resources and transform these resources into standard APIs usable by third-party applications. To validate the feasibility of the proposed solution, An oneM2M Interworking Proxy Entity for ECHONET Lite protocol was implemented and ECHONET Lite devices are able to have interacted with devices from different domains via the oneM2M ecosystem.
