Abstract
According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, thing discovery and configuration for an Internet of Things (IoT) integrated developer environment (IDE) is shown and described. In particular, in one embodiment, a computer operates an IoT IDE that discovers real-world physical devices within a computer network that are available to participate with the IoT IDE. The IoT IDE may then determine a respective functionality of each of the real-world physical devices, and virtually represents the real-world physical devices as selectable options within the IoT IDE for an IoT application, where a respective virtual representation of each of the real-world physical devices is configured within the IoT IDE with the corresponding respective functionality of that real-world physical device. Simulating the IoT application within the IoT IDE then relays input and/or output (I/O) between the IoT IDE and a selected set of real-world physical devices according to their corresponding respective functionality.
