Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method implemented by a computing device in a network. In some examples, the method includes scanning to identify communication channels available in a same location as the computing device. The method also includes determining characteristics of the identified communication channels and determining characteristics associated with smart home devices in the same location as the computing device. The computing device functions as a communication hub that manages and controls incoming and outgoing communication on at least some of the identified communication channels by at least some of the smart home devices. The method also includes controlling the smart home devices to distribute network connections of the smart home devices among the identified communication channels based on the determined characteristics of the identified communication channels and the determined characteristics associated with the smart home devices in the same location as the computing device.
