Abstract
An Internet of things (IoT) controller may execute a first IoT application, associated with operating an IoT device, and a second IoT application associated with operating the IoT device. The IoT controller may load an IoT application program interface (API) associated with the first IoT application and the second IoT application, and may identify a first set of functions including a first function, associated with the first IoT application, and a second function associated with the second IoT application. The IoT controller may translate, based on the IoT API, the first set of functions to a second set of functions including a third function, associated with the first IoT application, and a fourth function associated with the second IoT application. The IoT controller may cause the IoT device to operate, based on the second set of functions, during the execution of the first IoT application and the second IoT application.
