predetermining a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports of the radio module; and, communicating at least one command from the radio module to at least one of the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a response from the at least one of the one or more sensing devices in relation to the communicated at least one command. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the received response is received by a web-based application across the network or a user interface being a web application. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the web application is a web browser. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, wherein the received response includes information of at least one of the one or more sensing devices. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the information includes a measurement of a unit of measure from the at least one of the one or more sensing devices. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the unit of measure is degrees for a sensing device that measures temperature and wherein the protocol is HTTP. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the network controlling mechanism is one of a processor, a controller, or software. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the at least one command is a HTTP request. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the HTTP request is mapped to a respective URI and physical I/O pin. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the received response is received by the respective physical I/O pin and is communicated to a web browser. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising associating a mapping for reducing one or more identifiers of a fully descriptive URI to one or more reduced identifiers for a reduced URI. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising in response to receiving a fully descriptive URI, transmitting the reduced URI over air. ### Claim 14 A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium, comprising: computer readable program means for causing a computer to control an execution of an application to perform a method for providing network control of a radio module having a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, and having a network controlling mechanism in communication with the radio module, comprising: identifying a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each of the one or more sensing devices on the network; predetermining a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports of the radio module; communicating at least one command from the radio module to at least one of the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network; and, receiving a response from the at least one of the one or more sensing devices in relation to the communicated at least one command. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The program product of claim 14, wherein the received response is received by a web-based application across the network. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The program product of claim 15, wherein the received response is received by a user interface being a web application or a web browser. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The program product of claim 14, wherein the received response includes information of at least one of the one or more sensing devices. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The program product of claim 17, wherein the command is mapped to a respective Uniform Resource Indicator (URI) and physical I/O pin of one of the I/O ports. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The program product of claim 14, further comprising associating a mapping for reducing one or more identifiers of a fully descriptive URI to one or more reduced identifiers for a reduced URI. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The program product of claim 19, further comprising in response to the received response including a fully descriptive URI, transmitting the reduced URI over air. ### Claim 21 A radio module comprising: a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, and a network controlling mechanism, wherein the networking mechanism includes a processor configured to: identify a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each of the one or more sensing devices on the network; predetermine a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports; and, communicate at least one command to at least one of the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The radio module of claim 21, further comprising the processor being configured to associate a mapping for reducing one or more identifiers of a fully descriptive URI to one or more reduced identifiers for a reduced URI. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The radio module of claim 21, wherein the at least one command is communicated to a web browser.
