Patent attributes
A protocol handler communicatively coupled to client devices in an internet of things (IoT) network can operate to update manufacturer specific parameters for corresponding different protocols. A protocol component of the protocol handler can map updates from different manufacturers or different manufacturer servers to a translator dataset of a look-up table. The updates can be mapped to an IoT protocol as IoT parameters based on the associations of the look-up table between the different protocols. An IoT translator component can translate communications back and forth from manufacturers or their servers of different communications protocols to one or more of the client devices and vice versa, in which the client devices are associated with different protocols, and can also communicate to one another via the IoT translator in the IoT protocol.
