Abstract

Embodiments include a server system including logic of an edge computing device. A network includes a cloud platform able to receive state change events from a state module, and execution of the program logic results in process steps of a method that include transmitting a plurality of attributes from the cloud platform to the at least one edge computing device, where the plurality of attributes can be associated with a device of a distributed environment coupled to the network. A further step includes receiving from the state module, by the edge computing device, current state data of the device, and a subsequent step includes performing a comparison based on a set of rules of the attributes, by the edge computing device, of the current state data. Further, based on the comparison, the method includes sending, by the edge computing device, an update to a human-machine-interface module.
