Abstract
Devices, systems, and processes for rapid installation of numerous Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are described. For at least one embodiment, a system for installing multiple Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices may include a multi-device hub communicatively coupled to each of multiple IoT devices. One or more gateways are coupled to the multi-device hub. One or more IoT servers are coupled to at least one of the one or more gateways. The multi-device hub is configured to facilitate a bulk installation of the multiple IoT devices by executing non-transient computer instructions for registering and activating each of the IoT devices with use with one or more IoT servers.
Claims21
A system for installing multiple Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices comprising:
