Abstract
An interfacing device is configured to process one or more rules, based on sensor data, to perform a predetermined action. During operation, the device can establish a network connection with a device controller, and receives a device configuration that includes a rule for the interfacing device. The rule can include an action description for performing an action, and can include a condition that takes sensor data as input and indicates criteria for performing the action. The device can store the rule in a rule repository, and determines data generated by processing the rule's action description. When the device receives a data-subscription request for the data generated by processing the rule's action description, the device determines a remote interfacing device which issued the data-subscription request, and stores the data-subscription request, for the data generated by the rule's action description, in association with the remote interfacing device.
