Shared hardware and software resource replacement

A shared hardware and software failover improvement method comprising:

• monitoring, by a processor of a hardware device, hardware/software resources and sensors of a plurality of Internet of things devices;
• determining, by said processor based on results of said monitoring, a currently malfunctioning hardware/software resource or sensor of an Internet of things device of said plurality of Internet of things devices;
• identifying, by said processor in response to said determining, compatible available hardware/software resources or sensors of said plurality of Internet of things devices;
• triggering, by said processor, an alert indicating said currently malfunctioning hardware/software resource or sensor;
• and
• presenting, by said processor via a graphical user interface, available options for replacing said currently malfunctioning hardware/software resource or sensor with a compatible available hardware/software resource or sensor of said compatible available hardware/software resources or sensors.

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a processor of a hardware device implements a shared hardware and software resource improvement method, said method comprising:

• detecting, by said processor executing a network registration circuit, an Internet of things device connected to a network;
• registering, by said processor, said Internet of things device with said network;
• identifying, by said processor, hardware/software resources and sensors associated with hardware and software operations executed by said Internet of things device;
• identifying, by said processor, a performance level associated with each of said hardware/software resources and sensors;
• storing, by said processor within a database, all available data and associated metadata associated with said hardware/software resources and said sensors;
• displaying, by said processor via a graphical user interface, additional available hardware/software resources and sensors associated with a plurality of Internet of things devices connected to said network;
• executing, by said processor, a command signal for assigning a specified hardware/software resource or sensor, of said additional available hardware/software resources and sensors, to said Internet of things device;
• retrieving, by said processor, a network identification code associated with a location of said specified hardware/software resource or sensor;
• and
• enabling, by said processor via said network identification code, said specified hardware/software resource or sensor with respect to said Internet of things device.
