Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling an internet of things (IoT) device based on a congestion level. An example method includes polling a sensor, writing a measurement to a file, parsing the file to create a message, and checking for a backpressure alert message. If a backpressure alert message is found the message is saved to a cache, and a polling interval is changed.
