Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a control device for aggregation of machine-initiated resource distribution. The invention is a control device that links user associated smart devices. The control device generates code to extract data from the smart devices and control the communications disseminated from and received by the smart device from third parties. In this way, the control device prevents smart devices from communicating with third party systems and from third party systems from communicating directly with the smart devices. Thus, fixing the technical challenges within a current network including the need to consolidate and aggregate data across smart devices associated with the user, the need to control and manage the flow of data packets from smart devices to third parties (privacy, filtering, protection), and the need to easily track and refresh an inventory of smart devices.
