Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) world is composed by a huge number of different so called “smart devices” and every year new and different models are released on the mass market. Most of those devices are intended to be used by professional people or by companies. Thanks to the constant growth of the “smart objects”, end users and people with low or no-knowledge of the IT-world get in touch with these pieces of technology. Those people are expected to use the smart devices “out of the box” and in a very simple and easy way so, the human-device interaction needs to be as easiest as possible. Despite of this need, end users are commonly faced with thousand of different technological standards which are hard to evaluate without a solid IT background. Thus, the comparison to understand which IoT device performs better in a particular situation become complicated. In this paper we propose a comparison of two different IoT solutions using an IoT model. The model assesses the different technical specifications of the devices and then extracts a “score” for each technological aspect. The end user can use the score to better understand the points of strength and the weaknesses of the devices. Copyright © 2018 for the individual papers by the papers' authors.
