The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: Internet of Things - Discovery
Abstract: This specification describes an architecture based on the XMPP
protocol whereby Things can be installed and safely discovered by their owners
and connected into networks of Things.
URL: http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/iot-discovery.html
The XMPP Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
some comments after reviewing it:
section 3.3.1 describes how to find an xmpp servers. The methods
described there aren't limited to iot (at least the dhcp one), so it
might be a good idea to split them off. Not sure how useful that is however.
section 3.4:
I don't think IBR should be recommended anymore.
section 3.5:
I would recommend moving the discovery to standard disco#items and to
use components (xep-0114) -- those are not much harder to write than
standard clients and have many advantages in terms of managability.
Having hardcoded accounts like 'discovery' is a no-go imo, even with the
security considerations.
Affects all examples, but that might be a simple search-replace.
section 3.11:
the comment from 3.5 applies here as well.
example 36 closes update instead of search.
