Abstract

A method for controlling the IoT devices and an IoT system using the same are provided. The IoT devices includes a trigger device and a functional device. A managing software is executable on a client device. First, a credential is sent to the client from the functional device. Second, a script is received at the trigger device. The script includes the credential, at least one supported command, and at least one supported event. The script is generated at the managing software. The supported command is recognizable to the functional device. When the supported event is triggered at the trigger device, the supported command from the trigger device is received at the functional device. Then, a function of the functional device is performed based on the command, which increases the convenience of operating the system. The trigger device need not recognize the command, which increases the flexibility of the system.
