Smart Grids (SGs) stand out among the many applications of IoT and comprise several embedded intelligent technologies to improve the reliability and the safety of power grids. SGs use communication protocols for information exchange, such as the Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP). However, OSGP does not support the integration with devices compliant with the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), a communication protocol used in conventional IoT systems. In this sense, this article presents an efficient software interface that provides integration between OSGP and CoAP. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution, which presents low communication overhead and enables the integration between IoT and SG systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20102849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T02:43:42Z","timestamp":1589769822000},"page":"2849","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["An Efficient Interface for the Integration of IoT Devices with Smart Grids"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0972-2160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe","family":"Viel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Embedded and Distribution Systems, University of Vale do Itaja\u00ed, Rua Uruguai 458, C.P. 360, Itaja\u00ed 88302-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9981-4586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Augusto Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Embedded and Distribution Systems, University of Vale do Itaja\u00ed, Rua Uruguai 458, C.P. 360, Itaja\u00ed 88302-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0446-9271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valderi Reis Quietinho","family":"Leithardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Embedded and Distribution Systems, University of Vale do Itaja\u00ed, Rua Uruguai 458, C.P. 360, Itaja\u00ed 88302-901, Brazil"},{"name":"Departamento de Inform\u00e1tica, Universidade da Beira Interior, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"COPELABS, Universidade Lus\u00f3fona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, 1749-024 Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, Universidade da Beira Interior, 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9461-7922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Francisco","family":"De Paz Santana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, Plaza de los Ca\u00eddos s\/n, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1909-8007","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raimundo","family":"Celeste Ghizoni Teive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Applied Intelligence, University of Vale do Itaja\u00ed, Rua Uruguai 458, C.P. 360, Itaja\u00ed 88302-901, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3039-4410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cesar","family":"Albenes Zeferino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Embedded and Distribution Systems, University of Vale do Itaja\u00ed, Rua Uruguai 458, C.P. 360, Itaja\u00ed 88302-901, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1109\/JIOT.2015.2498900","article-title":"Middleware for Internet of Things: A Survey","volume":"3","author":"Razzaque","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Internet Things J."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Marzal, S., Gonz\u00e1lez-Medina, R., Salas-Puente, R., Figueres, E., and Garcer\u00e1, G.
