Provided are techniques for grouping devices as a virtual device for providing better quality of device data. A group of devices in an Internet of Things (IoT) network is identified based on one or more attributes of each of the devices. The group of devices is provided as a single virtual device by: collecting data from each of the devices in the group, transforming the data, and using the transformed data to modify a device.
