Abstract:
In one aspect, a method includes using a Wi-Fi module of a computing device to detect that an end-user has exited a monitored environment of the computing device, where the monitored environment comprises an Internet of Things (IoT) device communicatively coupled to the computing device over an IoT network. The method also involves in response to detecting that the end-user has exited the monitored environment, triggering a first IoT action at the IoT device. The method also involves after detecting that the end-user has exited the monitored environment and triggering the first IoT action, using the Wi-Fi module of the computing device to detect that the end-user has reentered the monitored environment. The method also involves in response to detecting that the end-user has reentered the monitored environment, triggering a second IoT action at the IoT device.
