Abstract: A server includes a processor to associate a first permissions record to a first plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices operating based on a first protocol, and associate a second permissions record to a second plurality of IoT devices operating based on a second protocol different from the first protocol. Each first and second IoT device has a namespace and a unique sub-namespace assigned thereto. The processor cooperates with a device that generates commands for controlling the first and second plurality of IoT devices based on the first and second permission records and the assigned namespaces and sub-namespaces.

Abstract: A system includes a server to assign a namespace to Internet of Things (IoT) devices, with the IoT devices being at different locations, and with each IoT device having a universal unique identifier (UUID) associated therewith. The server assigns at least one sub-namespace to each IoT device based on its location, and maps the UUID associated with each IoT device to both the namespace and the at least one sub-namespace assigned thereto. A device cooperates with the server to generate commands for controlling the IoT devices based on the namespaces and the at least one sub-namespaces mapped to the respective UUIDs.

Abstract: A system includes a messaging system server to interface with Internet of Thing (IoT) devices operating with different messaging protocols. The IoT devices include a first IoT device operating with a first messaging protocol and a second IoT device operating with a second messaging protocol that is different from the first messaging protocol. The second IoT device is subscribed to receive messages from the first IoT device. The messaging system server includes a Quality of Service (QoS) database providing at least one guaranteed message delivery option for a message being delivered from the first IoT device to the second IoT device. A device cooperates with the messaging system server to generate commands for controlling the first and second IoT devices, and to associate the at least one guaranteed message delivery option in the QoS database to the message being delivered from the first IoT device to the second IoT device.
