Abstract
Technology is described for sharing device capabilities between a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A first IoT device within a localized network may identify a desired device capability that is capable of augmenting device capabilities of the first IoT device. The first IoT device may identify a second IoT device within the localized network that possesses the desired device capability. The first IoT device may identify the second IoT device using a registry of device capabilities stored in the localized network. The first IoT device may obtain access to the desired device capability of the second IoT device to augment the device capabilities of the first IoT device.
