Abstract
A fallback mobile proxy system includes a gateway device having a local communication interface that establishes communication between a router and one or more smart home devices over a local communication network and one or more secondary local communication networks. The gateway device includes a processor that is configured to perform detecting a loss or degradation of connectivity between the router and a remote communication network. A mobile device is identified in communication with the router over the local communication network, where the mobile device has an alternate connectivity interface to the remote communication network. The mobile device is established as a fallback mobile proxy based on identifying the mobile device. Data is routed from/to the one or more smart home devices targeting the remote communication network to pass from/to the gateway device through the router and the fallback mobile proxy from/to the remote communication network.
