What it shows

  • Abstract device capabilities decouple specific hardware protocols.
  • Trigger conditions evaluate independently from connected actuators.
  • A central automation engine binds events to actions polymorphically.

The takeaway

Model sensors and actuators around capabilities and event triggers, not vendor-specific hardware classes.
