Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for managing a plurality of remote devices of disparate types. There is maintained an electronic device definition repository comprising: a plurality of semantic model definitions for corresponding devices of the plurality of remote devices. An action request for an action to be performed by one or more selected devices of the plurality of remote devices is received. For each one or more selected devices, the action request is processed including: converting a generic device action and a generic device property to a device-specific action and a device-specific property using the semantic model definition for the selected device; establishing one or more messages for communicating the device-specific action request to a given selected device using the data protocol definition for the selected device; translating the one or more messages of the sequence of messages to an application protocol suitable for communication with the selected device.
