IoT architecture to enable intercommunication through REST API and UPnP using IP, ZigBee and arduino

To provide better life quality for mankind through the use of electrical and electronic devices that surround the world, controlling and communication between these equipments must occur and it must happen in an automatic and transparent way. This paper proposes a model based on usual technology to enable the event reading and the controlling of electrical devices, already existent and later developed, through a RESTful API or UPnP technology in order to allow the easy development of applications that can effectively improve life by transparent interaction with regular people. Furthermore, it will be proposed two direct applications of these APIs and it will be shown how to extend it.
