Hardware Agnostic Universal Shareable IoT Platform

The hype about IoT has already reached its peak resulting in enormous expectations. To make these expectations come true, few practical issues need to be solved, one of them is a need for universal IoT platform that can improve interoperability. This paper aims at improving the understanding of existing IoT platforms and proposes a novel platform called `HAUS IoT Platform'. HAUS is a term used to refer to a person or thing who is amazing in all aspects of life. In this context, HAUS stands for Hardware Agnostic, Universal, and Shareable IoT platform. HAUS IoT Platform provides many special features like sharing publicly available sensors, hardware and software independence, secure transfer of data and all these features are provided in a cost-effective manner. HAUS IoT Platform overcomes all the roadblocks like hardware dependence, handling a large amount of data, security issues, difficulty in tracking devices etc. which are currently faced by IoT projects. It makes data transfer secure with tokenization method, easy to use API makes connection of devices effortless, sharing of devices reduces infrastructure cost.
