Abstract: A network-connected device service receives a request to establish a communications session with a network-connected device. In response to the request, the service transmits a set of electronic messages to the network-connected device through an access point of the network-connected device to establish the communications session. The network-connected device service receives a notification from the network-connected device indicating whether the communications session has been established. If so, the service provides an indication to a controlling device that the session has been established. This enables the controlling device to submit commands executable by the network-connected device to the service, which provides the commands to the network-connected device through the access point.

Abstract: A technology is described for applying automation rules to network addressable devices according to a proximity to a beacon. An example method may include receiving a device identifier for a network addressable device. Receiving a beacon identifier for a beacon that may be within proximity of the network addressable device. An automation rule associated with the network addressable device and the beacon may then be obtained using the device identifier and the beacon identifier, and the automation rule may be applied to the network addressable device.

Abstract: A provisioning device may be shipped to a client and used to automatically provision an IoT device to join a local network to communicate with a remote service provider. In response to a trigger input, the provisioning device creates a wireless hotspot that is recognizable by an IoT device as a provisioning hotspot. The provisioning device receives a signal from the IoT device indicating that the IoT device is available to be provisioned. The provisioning device obtains provisioning data and transmits the provisioning data to the IoT device. The IoT device uses the provisioning data to connect to a local wireless network and to establish a connection to the remote service provider. The IoT device may then use one or more IoT services of the service provider.

Abstract: Technology for publish-subscribe message transformations is provided. In one example, a publish-subscribe messaging method may include identifying a definition of a transformation rule for transforming a message received from a publisher. The message may be received from the publisher at a broker. The message may identify a topic and may include message data. A determination may be made as to whether the message is associated with a transformation rule for transforming the message. The method may further include transforming the message as defined by the transformation rule and sending the transformed message to a destination.
