Abstract

Tool for designing a control system for an IoT device. Tool includes input blocks. An input block represents first IoT device, third-party messaging account, or computing device. First device or account identified using first UUID. Tool includes output blocks. An output block represents second IoT device, third-party messaging account, or computing device. Second device or account identified using second UUID. One input block or one output block represents an IoT device. IoT device senses or controls and is connectable to WAN. Tool includes function blocks. A function block represents function that processes information received from the input blocks. First UUID determines first device or account identified using first UUID from which to receive information. The function blocks provide a command to the output blocks. Second UUID determines second device or account identified using second UUID to provide command. Input, output, and function blocks positionable in interface to form control system.
