Internet of Things appliance providing extended-capability messaging

An appliance device for Extended-Capability Messaging comprising one of more processing units, power sources, memory devices, signal-routing components, peripheral interfaces, and network interfaces wherein instructions for generating messages are downloaded from a database using one or more mechanisms selected from the group consisting of whole database retrieval and interim updating, wherein messages categorized as received, transmitted, or processed are of a type selected from the group consisting of time-specific, location-specific, commands for processing to be executed in the Extended-Capability Messaging (ECM) Appliance (ECMA), and commands directed to another Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the origin of the messages is selected from the group consisting of programmed instructions including those responsive to Input/Output (I/O) conditions, messages received from another ECM Appliance, messages received from a non-ECM IoT device, downloads from a regional server, a central server, or another ECMA appliance, internal calculations, read-only memory, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), wherein the messages are communicated via one or more mechanisms selected from the group consisting of wired and wireless, wherein the messages are of one or more types selected from the group consisting of visual notifications, auditory notifications, tactile or haptic alerts, digital data transmissions, programmatic interactions including API calls, operational instructions directed to networked devices including actuators and robots, and custom messaging, wherein message actions by the ECM Appliance are triggered by one or more factors selected from the group consisting of time, location, instruction, AI, and criteria met in an analyzed data stream, and are delivered by a mode selected from the group consisting of direct delivery, delivery via regional server, and delivery via central server.
