Abstract:
This application is directed to an electronic device that acts as a bridge between a remote system and one or more other electronic devices. For instance, the electronic device may establish a first network connection using one or more network interfaces and a second network connection using the one or more network interfaces. In some instances, the first network connection includes a wireless local area network and the second network connection includes a low-power wide-area network. The electronic device may then receive data from the remote system over the first network connection, where the data represents a command for an additional electronic device. Using the data, the electronic device may transmit a data packet to the additional electronic device over the second network connection. The data packet may represent at least an identifier of the additional electronic device and the command.
