An electronic device may include: a communication module; a processor operatively connected to the communication module; and a memory operatively connected to the processor and configured to store computer program code. The computer program code, when executed, enables the processor to: upon detection of execution of a first operation of a first Internet of Things (IoT) device, obtain, from the memory, a first instruction to operate the first IoT device in a second operation; transmit the first instruction to the first IoT device to operate the first IoT device in the second operation; and monitor execution of the second operation by the first IoT device.
