Abstract
In embodiments, a device control application reads a configuration file responsive to a first execution of the device control application on a mobile device. The mobile device parses the first configuration file to identify one or more supported devices, managed properties of each of the one or more supported devices, actions that indicate information about the managed properties, and controls associated with at least one of the one or more supported devices or the one or more managed properties, wherein a control causes a specified user input to generate a command to cause a managed property to have a specified value. The mobile device crates a first version of the device control application based on the configuration file during runtime of the device control application based on a result of the parsing. The mobile device then presents the first version of the device control application.
