Abstract
An Internet of Things (IoT) pairing controller is described that enables an end-user to customize the implementation of IoT devices. The IoT pairing controller may receive a pairing request to pair a combination of active-active IoT devices or active-passive IoT devices. The IoT pairing controller may facilitate a selection of a pairing signal type that is used to pair the IoT devices, such as light, sound, heat, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. An end-user may select multiple pairing signal types, of which the IoT pairing controller may toggle between based on ambient environmental conditions, or as a failsafe confirmation of a 'not sensed' pairing condition between IoT devices. The IoT pairing controller may associate client-defined statements with paired (i.e. sensed') and unpaired (i.e. 'not sensed”) pairing conditions of a pair of IoT devices.
