Disadvantages to HTTP
There are some disadvantages to HTTP as an IoT protocol:
- Higher power needs: Communications have frequent back and forth interactions, connections need to be sustained, and plain text results in larger message sizes. All of this requires more power to support.
- The IoT device complexity: The device needs enough memory and CPU power to support the TCP protocol and high level HTTP RESTful APIs.
