Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a communication box, connected to a first device and to a second device, the first device communicating with the box via a first protocol, the second device communicating with the box via a second protocol, the communication box hosting for each device respectively at least one first service and one second service, the communication box comprising an OSGi software platform, this platform being configured to isolate each service of each device in a leaktight container and to implement a structure for unified access allowing access to the devices.

Abstract: A method of communication between a remote action manager and a communication box, for interacting with equipment connected to the communication box, by creating an association of a communication mechanism with the box, receiving an action request at the action manager destined for the equipment, identifying the communication mechanism associated with the box, and communicating the action request to the box via the identified communication mechanism.

Abstract: Method of communication between a remote action manager (14) and a communication box (5) for interacting with a device (1) connected to said communication box (5), this box (5) and this device (1) being included in a local network, the box (5) being connected to said remote action manager (14) by way of an integrated access apparatus (25) having a public address, this method comprising the following steps—association of a communication mechanism with said box (5), this association being stored in a database (15) associated with said action manager (14); —reception, by the action manager (14), of a request (16) for action destined for said device; —identification, in said database (15), of the communication mechanism associated with said box (5); —communication of the request (16) for action to said communication box (5) via the identified communication mechanism.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a communication box for the management of a plurality of user devices including sensors and actuators installed in a predefined environment, this box including a first communication interface for recovering at least one measurement measured by at least one sensor of the plurality of user devices; a second communication interface for communicating at least one command to at least one actuator of the plurality of user devices; and an isolator for isolating the resources for the recovery of the first data item and for the communication of the command.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a system for managing data relating to devices, including a central data platform for the interconnection of a plurality of devices disposed locally in a predefined physical environment; and being configured so as to upload to the central data platform data associated with the plurality of devices; a mega-data analytic module configured to analyze the data recorded in the central data platform so as to generate correlations, tendencies, or predictions; an interface according to a service architecture oriented mode for the making the analysis results available.
