Abstract: Mechanisms to trigger commands on target devices when source devices broadcast certain notifications to thereby automate common, routine, or otherwise related activities among heterogeneous devices are provided. For example, when a source device broadcasts a notification that arrives at a control device, a trigger that links the notification to a command on the target device may be defined and stored at the control device, which may then automatically invoke the command on the target device when the source device broadcasts the notification again in the future. In other use cases, the trigger and the linked command may be pushed to the broadcasting source device, which may then invoke the command on the target device when broadcasting the notification in the future, or a listener may be configured on the target device such that the target device may invoke the command in response to locally detecting the notification linked thereto.
