摘要： Techniques are disclosed for generating device cluster capability information for a cluster of devices in a network environment. Capability information can specify capabilities of the devices in the cluster. A first user device can generate device capabilities for the first user device and obtain device capabilities for other devices in the cluster. The first user device can generate cluster capability information providing an intersection of the first set of device capabilities and device capabilities of the other user devices in the cluster. The first user device can obtain cluster capability information for other clusters in the network environment and receive a request from a service user device to perform a specific task. The first user device can transmit cluster capability information relating to a selected cluster that corresponds with the request.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for coordinating state information between devices in a network of devices. In one example, a first user device can obtain event information identifying an event (e.g., triggering of an alarm) associated with another user device and state information identifying a state of the other device. The first user device can report the state and event information to devices in the network. Observers corresponding to each user device can identify the occurrence of the event corresponding to the event information for each user device. An action (e.g., output an audio chime) can be performed by each device with an observer that identifies the occurrence of the event corresponding to the event information for each user device.
