A New Method of Controlling IoT Devices Based on Cloud Storage Service

We propose a new method of controlling IoT devices based on data transmission using available cloud storage services. Besides avoiding technical difficulties like NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal, this method has significant advantages including minimum economic cost, security services, general applicability, and convenient user experience. We demonstrate this method in a prototype experiment in which some LED devices located behind an intranet can be remotely controlled over the Internet. This method has potentials to benefit many users and be extended for broader scenarios of applications.
