Automated discovery and configuration of internet of things (iot) devices

A computer system for automatically discovering and configuring internet of things (IoT) devices on a network, comprising:

• one or more data processing apparatuses including one or more processors, memory, and storage devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by a network address server, a request for a network address for a device that is connecting to the network, wherein the request for the network address includes a device identifier of the device;
• in response to receiving the request for the network address, (i) providing the network address for the device, and (ii) logging a connection event to an event data store, wherein the connection event includes the device identifier of the device and the network address for the device;
• receiving, by a device service platform, the connection event that includes the device identifier of the device and the network address for the device;
• determining, by the device service platform and based at least in part on the device identifier of the device, whether the device is to be serviced;
• and
• in response to determining that the device is to be serviced, automatically performing a configuration operation for the device by the device service platform, the configuration operation comprising (i) determining a device model of the device, based at least in part of the device identifier of the device, (ii) receiving, from a configuration data store, configuration settings that have been specified for the device model of the device, and (iii) applying the configuration settings to the device, using the network address for the device.
