receiving from the cloud service (20) the device-native message (216); and processing the device-native message (216). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, comprising the following steps performed at the Internet-enabled device (10): generating a device-native message (226); transmitting the device-native message (226) to the cloud service (20); receiving from the cloud service (20) the standard message (221); and sending the standard message (221) to the endpoint (30). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, comprising communicating the Internet-enabled device (10) with the cloud service (20) via proxies (13, 21) over a tunnel (40). ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising, at the cloud service (20): translating the standard message (212) to an abstract message (213) and the abstract message (213) to the device-native message (215); and translating the device-native message (225) to an abstract message (223) and the abstract message (223) to the standard message (222). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions performing all the steps of the method according to claim 1 when executed on a computer. ### Claim 7 An Internet-enabled device (10) configured to communicate with an endpoint (30) in a LAN environment, wherein the Internet-enabled device (10) supports device-native messages and the endpoint (30) supports standard messages, characterized in that the Internet-enabled device (10) comprises a connectivity board (12) configured to communicate with a cloud service (20) configured to translate the standard messages into device-native messages and the device-native messages to the standard messages. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The Internet-enabled device (10) according to claim 7, characterized in that the connectivity board (12) is configured to: receive from the endpoint (30) the standard message (210); transmit the standard message (210) to the cloud service (20); receive from the cloud service (20) the device-native message (216); and transfer the device-native message (216) to a device main control unit (11) to be processed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The Internet-enabled device (10) according to claim 7, characterized in that the connectivity board (12) is configured to: receive, from a device main control unit (11) the device-native message (226); transmit the device-native message (226) to the cloud service (20); receive from the cloud service (20) the standard message (221); and send the standard message (221) to the endpoint (30). ### Claim 10 A system (20) for implementing a cloud service for enabling communication between an Internet-enabled device (10) with an endpoint (30) in a LAN environment, wherein the Internet-enabled device (10) supports device-native messages and the endpoint (30) supports standard messages, characterized in that the cloud system (20) is configured to translate the standard messages into device-native messages and the device-native messages to the standard messages. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system (20) according to claim 10, comprising: a protocol stack (22) configured to translate the standard messages (212, 222) to abstract messages (213, 223) and vice versa; and an M2M parser (24) configured to translate the device-native messages (215, 225) to the abstract messages (213, 223) and vice versa. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) A communication system comprising at least one Internet-enabled device (20) according to claim 7 connected via a tunnel (40) with a system (20) for implementing a cloud service according to a system (20) for implementing a cloud service for enabling communication between an Internet-enabled device (10) with an endpoint (30) in a LAN environment, wherein the Internet-enabled device (10) supports device-native messages and the endpoint (30) supports standard messages, characterized in that the cloud system (20) is configured to translate the standard messages into device-native messages and the device-native messages to the standard messages.
