Internet of Things system topology generation
Disclosed are various examples for generating an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system topology. A user interface includes a graphical representation of components. A relationship between the plurality of components is determined based on user-defined connections between the components. IoT topology code is generated. The IoT topology code includes the relationship between the plurality of components and properties for individual ones of the components. The IoT topology code is converted to executable gateway instructions that enable a gateway device to communicate with an IoT device. The gateway instructions are transmitted to the gateway device.
