Abstract
Techniques and systems for interfacing Internet Things (IoT) devices using different connection protocols are provided. For example, computing device, a method, and a computer-program product may be provided, and may include one or more data processors and a receiver for receiving a communication from a first IoT device communicatively connected to the computing device using a first connection protocol. The communication is received using the first connection protocol. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may contain instructions which when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more processors to determine a second IoT device to which the communication is intended to be transmitted, determine a second connection protocol used by the second IoT device, and translate the communication to the second connection protocol. A transmitter may transmit the communication to the second IoT device that is communicatively connected to the computing device using the second connection protocol. The communication is transmitted using the second connection protocol.
