General software features

D-LITe is an universal and standardized platform to deploy the logic of a distributed application over a wireless sensor network (ie. Home Automation application). D-LITe uses 6LowPAN (IPv6 on sensors) and CoAP (REST compatible client-server protocol). The goal is to achieve quick deployments and complete reconfiguration of the behavior of the whole wireless sensor network. This is done without flashing each node.

The use of IPv6 and REST allows to abstract hardware and operating system's specificities.

Context in which the software is used

This program can be used for wireless sensor networks. The code works with Contiki and has been tested wich the COOJA simulator and on a real test bed (TelosB).

The access to each node and the logic deployment to be applied can be done with any CoAP client (coapy in Python, or copper as FireFox plugin). The complete description of SALT (the language for the description of the logic) is given on the web site of D-LITe.
