This Internet of Things Agent is designed to be a bridge between the [OMA](https://www.omaspecworks.org/)

[Lightweight M2M](https://www.omaspecworks.org/what-is-oma-specworks/iot/lightweight-m2m-lwm2m/) protocol and the

[NGSI](https://swagger.lab.fiware.org/?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fiware/specifications/master/OpenAPI/ngsiv2/ngsiv2-openapi.json)

interface of a context broker



It is based on the [FIWARE IoT Agent Node.js Library](https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-node-lib). Further

general information about the FIWARE IoT Agents framework, its architecture and the common interaction model can be

found in this repository.



This project is part of [FIWARE](https://www.fiware.org/). For more information check the FIWARE Catalogue entry for the

[IoT Agents](https://github.com/Fiware/catalogue/tree/master/iot-agents).

## Background



### Description



An Internet of Things Agent is a component that lets groups of devices send their data to and be managed from a FIWARE

NGSI Context Broker using their own native protocols. This project provides the IoT Agent for the Lightweight M2M

protocol, i.e. the bridge between OMA Lightweight M2M enabled devices and an NGSI Context Broker.



For more information on what an IoT Agent is or how it should work, please check the documentation on the

[IoT Agent Node.js Library](https://iotagent-node-lib.readthedocs.io/).



For more information on [OMA Lightweight M2M](https://omaspecworks.org/what-is-oma-specworks/iot/) you can check the

[Node.js OMA Lightweight M2M library](https://github.com/telefonicaid/lwm2m-node-lib) we are using.



If you just want to start using the agent, jump to the [Quick Start Guide](docs/userGuide.md#getting-started).



You will find some more general considerations about the LWM2M Mapping we are using in the following subsections.



### Type configuration



In order to assign the proper configuration for each type of device, a mechanism to assign types to new arriving devices

should be used. This mechanism is based on Prefixes for the registrarion URL. For each type configured in the `lwm2m`

configuration section in the `config.js` config file, a URL prefix has to be defined. Whenever a registration arrives to

a URL with that prefix, the device will be assigned the corresponding type.



### Mappings



One of the features to provide through the IoT Agent is the mapping between the protocol specific names of the South

Port traffic to the application-specific names in the North Port. In the case of Lightweight M2M, this means to map two

things:



-   OMA Registry objects and resources from their URIs (e.g.: '') to their common names (e.g.: '').

-   Custom device objects to the names defined by the user.



In order to accomplish this task, the agent supports:



-   An aditional property `lwm2mResourceMapping` that lets the user configure names for to each of the particular

    resources exposed by a device Type

-   Two optional configuration file, `omaRegistry.json` containing the automatic mappings that will be applied in case

    there are no custom mappings.



Custom mappings defined by the user in the config.js file or by preprovisioning devices take precedence over any other

available mapping.



### OMA Registry mapping



The IoT Agent provides a mean to map Lightweight M2M objects supported by the client without the need to map them in the

type or prevoprovision information. The mapping works as follows: whenever a device registration arrives to the IoT

Agent **if there is no configured mapping for any of the objects supported by the decive** (that should appear in the

registration payload), then **all the resources supported by the object in the OMA Registry** are configured **as

passive resources** offered by the object.



The OMA Registry information is read from two files: `omaRegistry.json` and `omaInverseRegistry.json`. This two files

can be generated with the last information in the OMA Registry with the command `bin/downloadOmaRegistry.js`. Notice

that the generated files **do not** have the same name than the original ones (so the result can be double-checked

before changing them). In order to use the freshly downloaded ones, just remove the former and rename the latter.



### Preprovisioning



For individual provisioning of devices, LWM2M devices can be preprovisioned to the server, sending all the required

information to the IoT Agent Provisioning API. Preprovisioned devices should target the standard '/rd' URL instead of a

type URL. The preprovision configuration will be identified by the Endpoint name sent by the device.



### A note about security



IoT Agent security is still in development, so no Southbound or Northbound security mechanisms are provided. The NGSI

Context Broker can be secured with a [PEP Proxy]() anyway, so the IoT Agent should be able to deal with token based

security. This mechanism is achieved with the use of Keystone Trust Tokens. For more information on how to use them,

please read the Security Section in [Node IoT Agent Library](https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-node-lib).



## Install



Information about how to install the OMA Lightweight M2M IoT Agent can be found at the corresponding section of the

[Installation & Administration Guide](docs/administrationGuide.md).



A `Dockerfile` is also available for your use - further information can be found [here](docker/README.md)



## Usage



Information about how to use the IoT Agent can be found in the [User & Programmers Manual](docs/userGuide.md).



The following features are listed as [deprecated](docs/deprecated.md)



## API



Apiary reference for the Configuration API can be found

[here](https://telefonicaiotiotagents.docs.apiary.io/#reference/configuration-api). More information about IoT Agents

and their APIs can be found in the IoT Agent Library [documentation](https://iotagent-node-lib.readthedocs.io/).

### Are there any legal issues with AGPL 3.0? Is it safe for me to use?



There is absolutely no problem in using a product licensed under AGPL 3.0. Issues with GPL (or AGPL) licenses are mostly

related with the fact that different people assign different interpretations on the meaning of the term “derivate work”

used in these licenses. Due to this, some people believe that there is a risk in just _using_ software under GPL or AGPL

licenses (even without _modifying_ it).



For the avoidance of doubt, the owners of this software licensed under an AGPL-3.0 license wish to make a clarifying

public statement as follows:



> Please note that software derived as a result of modifying the source code of this software in order to fix a bug or

> incorporate enhancements is considered a derivative work of the product. Software that merely uses or aggregates (i.e.

> links to) an otherwise unmodified version of existing software is not considered a derivative work, and therefore it

> does not need to be released as under the same license, or even released as open source.
