Distributed Trigger-Based Function Execution in a Mesh Network

Abstract

Various embodiments describe methods, systems, and devices for distributing trigger-based function execution in a mesh network. Various embodiments receive a trigger designation that identifies a plurality of preestablished triggers used to initiate an action controlling an operation associated with a client device connected to the mesh network. A trigger subscription may be transmitted that causes hardware associated with each of the plurality of nodes to be configured to detect and report when any one of the plurality of preestablished triggers is detected by any one of the plurality of nodes, wherein the trigger subscription includes an update to a trigger list that identifies a designated node among the plurality of nodes that is configured to execute application logic for initiating at least one action controlling the operation associated with the client device connected to the mesh network, wherein the client device is remote from the designated node.
