A visual flow-based programming platform enables entities to build automations for smart home systems. Flows link contact closures to adapters of devices in an entity's smart home system. Nodes provide logic and other functions that are interconnected to build the flows in a flow editor that executes in the cloud. The flows are exported, for example, as JSON files and run by a separate flow interpreter that executes at an entity's local hub. Automations can be shared between entities by sharing flows, without exposing private information about each entity's devices.
H04N 21/462 - Content or additional data management e.g. creating a master electronic program guide from data received from the Internet and a Head-end or controlling the complexity of a video stream by scaling the resolution or bit-rate based on the client capabilities

A computer-implemented method for implementing an architecture for a smart building includes receiving, by a hub of the smart building, speech input from a smart speaker. The speech input describes asynchronous events associated with smart devices in the smart building. The hub is connected to a cloud Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP) router located in a cloud. The asynchronous events are converted to a trigger, a condition, or an action to be performed by at least one smart device. An automated flow is generated for controlling at least one adapter in the smart building from at least one of the trigger, the condition, or the action. The at least one adapter operates the at least one smart device. The at least one smart device corresponds to at least one node in the automated flow.

H04L 67/125 - Protocols specially adapted for proprietary or special-purpose networking environments, e.g. medical networks, sensor networks, networks in vehicles or remote metering networks involving control of end-device applications over a network
H04L 41/0816 - Configuration setting characterised by the conditions triggering a change of settings the condition being an adaptation, e.g. in response to network events

G06F 30/13 - Architectural design, e.g. computer-aided architectural design [CAAD] related to design of buildings, bridges, landscapes, production plants or roads
A computer system of a hub determines that a smart device has been installed in proximity to the hub. A first remote procedure call (RPC) is sent from the hub to an adapter of the smart device using a first microservice to install the adapter. The first RPC is sent over a hub Web Application Messaging Protocol (WAMP) router of the hub. A second RPC is sent from the hub to the adapter using a second microservice to determine that the adapter is functional. An automated flow is accessed for controlling the smart device. The automated flow comprises a node corresponding to the smart device. A third RPC is sent from the hub via the adapter to the smart device using a third microservice. The third RPC references the node. The smart device is operated in accordance with the automated flow using the third RPC.
