I've had a great time at #TechNExt26 this week.

High quality production, some thought provoking talks, and most of all good conversation.

Thank you to everyone who came to my talk yesterday about the #WebOfThings and @krellian's #SmartBuilding solutions.

@paul This list of single-vendor system APIs reminds me of the 30+ system APIs prototyped in Firefox OS which also failed to become standards in the W3C System Applications Working Group https://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/

I continue to believe that the reason this has never worked out is that a JavaScript API is the wrong abstraction for exposing hardware features to the web. They should be web resources with URLs rather than JavaScript objects. #WebOfThings

On my way to #GPN23 #gpn with a bunch of #WebOfThings projects and a receipt printer. I'm also happy to see Karlsruhe again.

I'm delighted to share that I have been selected for a https://StandICT.eu Fellowship, with a six month project working on out-of-the-box interoperability on the #WebOfThings.

Personally I would rather that API was a royalty free web standard than a proprietary native mobile API which could be changed or removed at the whim of one company.

WebThings Gateway bridges a range of different smart home protocols to a single standardised interface using the #WebOfThings. https://webthings.io/gateway/

Last week I gave a talk to the W3C @wot Community Group about @krellian's use of @WebThingsIO for commercial smart buildings. The high level business case, a tour of Krellian Cloud features and a deep dive into lessons learnt using #WebOfThings standards. https://youtu.be/7FGS10G-YIc?si=mabYUoP6T2B02mCi

Previously, I've held conference talks about #Webthings which is based on the #WebOfThings. It is an upcoming HTTP standard for making the #InternetOfThings more interoperable.

This year I've been experimenting with #IoT via #Matrix. Yes, that's a lot of overhead, but in some cases you may want the ownership of a persistent log that's encrypted at rest and full-featured access control over who can view and edit the state of your IoT.
I'm preparing a talk for #FrOSCon and the #MatrixSummit.

I'm about to start presenting our paper 'Leveraging #WebOfThings recommendations for #KnowledgeGraphs generation' at @icwe2021!

#WebThings is an open-source Home Automation platform. It's not limited to real devices. You can build a #WebOfThings device for anything.

I build one for a virtual house in the #videogame #CS2D.
