Abstract
A technology is described for applying automation rules to network addressable devices according to a proximity to a beacon. An example method may include receiving a device identifier for a network addressable device. Receiving a beacon identifier for a beacon that may be within proximity of the network addressable device. An automation rule associated with the network addressable device and the beacon may then be obtained using the device identifier and the beacon identifier, and the automation rule may be applied to the network addressable device.
