Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes using one or more Wi-Fi modules of one or more computing devices to detect movement of an end-user from a first monitored environment of the one or more computing devices to a second, different monitored environment of the one or more computing devices, where the first monitored environment comprises a first Internet of Things (IoT) device, where the second monitored environment comprises a second IoT device, and where the first and second IoT devices are communicatively coupled to the one or more computing devices over an IoT network. The method also includes in response to detecting the movement of the end-user from the first monitored environment to the second monitored environment: triggering a first IoT action at the first IoT device, and triggering a second IoT action at the second IoT device.
