Headless Internet of Things Devices That Provide User Interface Models

Abstract

Things devices are becoming more frequent and used in the lives of everyone. Starting with sensor networks that are monitoring certain parts of an experiment in a laboratory and continuing with simple appliances almost everyone has such a device. With the increasing usage of the devices, the need for quick implementation of such a device became obvious. Besides the core functionality of a device, the user interface is the most important part, the simpler it is to use the higher the chance for a user to try the device. In this paper, we present the concept and implementation of a framework that provides the tooling for creating user interface models that can be stored on the device itself and rendered on request in a prepared environment.
