The Internet of Things (IoT) application development is a complex task that requires wide range expertise. Currently, the IoT community lacks toolkit enables inexperienced developers to develop prototypes rapidly. Filling this gap, we propose based on model-driven approach, called Link. Link allows compose mash up applications through graphical domain-specific language can be easily configured and wired together create an application. Through visual components, encapsulates complexity communicating with devices services internet abstracts them as virtual objects are accessible different communication technologies. Consequently, it solves interoperability between heterogeneous components. Based model, able generate complete Java project including extendable code. In controlled experiment, was 42% faster than using library outperform library's user satisfactions.
