Abstract: The present disclosure relates to configuring and operating Internet of things (IoT) elements connected by a network. A computing device receives an interface component corresponding to an IoT element. The computing device retrieves a description of the interface component at least describing a set of restrictions of an operation of the IoT element. The computing device deploys the interface component in the computing device to at least translate events and commands specific to the IoT element to common events and commands for processing in the computing device. The computing device sends at least a subset of the description of the interface component to a user device to cause the user device to generate a user interface for configuring the operation of the IoT element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to configuring and operating Internet of things (IoT) elements connected by a network. A computing device receives a request to generate a rule for coordinating operation of a plurality of IoT elements. The computing device determines whether the request satisfies restrictions as described in descriptions of interface components of the plurality of IoT elements in the computing device by referencing descriptions of interface components. The interface components correspond to the plurality of IoT elements. The computing device generates the rule responsive to determining that the request satisfies the restrictions, and sends an action signal over the network based on the rule to operate one or more of the plurality of IoT elements.

Abstract: A client application includes a user interface for creating and editing complex interactions between IoT elements. Users choose from multiple IoT elements, where each element representing an IoT-enabled device or service. Users drag and drop selected IoT elements into a grid and couple them via one or more connectors. Users edit connectors and specify conditional requirements for some IoT devices to perform actions based on information sourced from other IoT devices. Users implement combinational logic by connecting multiple elements in different ways.
