Many models and classification schemes have been proposed to make the degree of interoperability measurable - however only on the basis of a hierarchical scale. In the course of this paper we introduce a novel approach to measure the degree of interoperability using a metric scaled quantity. We consider IoT as a distributed system, where interoperable objects exchange messages with each other. Under this premise, we interpret messages as operation calls and formalize this view as a causal model. The analysis of this model enables us to quantify the interoperable behavior of communicating objects.
