Abstract:
Mechanisms to trigger commands on target devices when source devices broadcast certain notifications to thereby automate common, routine, or otherwise related activities among heterogeneous devices are provided. For example, when a source device broadcasts a notification that arrives at a control device, a trigger that links the notification to a command on the target device may be defined and stored at the control device, which may then automatically invoke the command on the target device when the source device broadcasts the notification again in the future. In other use cases, the trigger and the linked command may be pushed to the broadcasting source device, which may then invoke the command on the target device when broadcasting the notification in the future, or a listener may be configured on the target device such that the target device may invoke the command in response to locally detecting the notification linked thereto.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a control device is configured to control a mobile IoT light output device (e.g., a mobile phone, etc.) in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The control device detects that the mobile IoT light output device is present in a region of the IoT environment along with one or more stationary IoT light output devices. The control device determines a target lighting scene to be implemented within the region of the IoT environment, and establishes a lighting configuration of the mobile IoT light output device to be used in conjunction with a lighting configuration of each of the one or more stationary IoT light output devices to achieve the target lighting scene.
