Vorto Device Adapter API for device discovery and message exchange between app and device in a Vorto compliant way

[aedelmann]

Vorto Device Adapter API provides a Vorto compliant abstraction between applications and devices.
It consumes a Vorto Mapping Specification and converts between Vorto characteristics (as defined in the Vorto Model) and the device specific protocol implementation, e.g. bluetooth-gatt, zigbee etc.
This adapter merely simplifies the implementation of applications that integrate devices, without needing to worry about nitty gritty details how to access the device using drivers.
The adapter is configured with a Mapping Specification, which is created and downloaded in/from the Vorto Repository.

Example Implementations of this Adapter API are:

• BLE GATT for Android driver
• Eclipse Kura
• Other Gateway implementations
