## Abstract

Methods, systems, and storage media for accessing one or more services provided by one or more detected Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices are described. In embodiments, a mobile device may detect a plurality of IoT devices, obtain an identifier for each of the plurality of IoT devices based on the detection, and obtain an indicator for each of the plurality of IoT devices based at least in part on a corresponding one of the obtained identifiers, wherein each indicator may indicate a service type of a corresponding one of the plurality of IoT devices. The mobile device may generate a notification that indicates a plurality of services available to the mobile device based on each of the obtained indicators. The mobile device may access a service of the plurality of services, wherein the access may include utilization of a set of the plurality of IoT devices required to provide the service. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
