The XMPP implementation is now done. To access the complete source code, please download the example projects.
Since we have used a generic security model, based on identity creation and delegated trust to a provisioning server, our devices do not know who their owners are or with whom they can connect and communicate. To make everything work, we need to provide this information to the devices through the provisioning server. You can do this in the following way if you use the provisioning server at http://thingk.me/:
- First, create an account on the Dashboard page.
- Download a smart phone app to register your devices. This app is called Registration Unit or Thing Registrar. You can find the relevant instructions on the API page.
- Run the app and create an XMPP account somewhere. You can use the XMPP server at thingk.me. This JID will be used when claiming ownership of the devices that would use the app. The JIDs will be reported to the corresponding devices, as the owner's JID.
- On the Registration page, you can add your registration unit. This connects the app with the account. When adding a registration unit, you need to provide its JID. The server will send a message with a PIN code to your app to verify you have the right to use that JID. You need to confirm the receipt of this PIN code before you accept the unit as yours. You can use multiple registration units for each account.
- From the app, you can now claim your things by taking photographs of their corresponding QR code. A list of claimed things will be shown on the Things page.
- As soon as something new happens to your things, such as new friendship requests, readout requests, or control requests, the provisioning server will automatically recommend the thing to reject the corresponding request. But it will also notify you of the corresponding event. The Dashboard page will show any events you have pending, or send you an e-mail if you're not online. Follow the instructions in each notification and tell the server how you want it to respond the next time a similar request is made.
- From the Things page, you can access all the information about each thing, reset and edit rules, recommend friendships, and also try to read and control them. It is from this page that you can connect the controller with the sensor, actuator, and camera by recommending new friendships to the controller.
- You can connect normal chat clients to all your things as well. All devices have chat interfaces, so make sure to try this out.
- You're welcome to contact thingk.me through the Contact page.
