Abstract
An IoT hub comprising one or more servers and databases is configured to automatically assign Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices to IoT solutions based on a subnet to which the IoT devices are connected. A user interface is configured to enable a user to define subnets within the customer's network environment and assign each subnet to an IoT solution. Upon the user setting up an IoT device's network connection to a network device, such as a router, the IoT device transmits its network information to the IoT hub. The IoT hub can then automatically assign the IoT device to a specific IoT solution without further user input or predict which IoT solution to utilize for that IoT device based on known parameters.
