Abstract: A distributed notification system is described herein. A distributed notification grouping can be created in which a master device is appointed for a subnet. The master device can poll a server periodically on behalf of peer or slave devices so that the peer or slave devices do not poll the server unless they are appointed as the master or are retrieving notification data from the server.
