1. A method comprising:

  • by a cloud client device, identifying one or more devices and one or more sensors on the one or more devices are within a pre-determined communication range of the cloud client device operable to communicate with the cloud client device;

    by the cloud client device, determining the one or more devices available for pairing;

    by the cloud client device, providing a wireless, remote interface to the one or more devices;

    by the cloud client device, authenticating the one or more devices available for pairing, wherein authenticating comprises obtaining at least a security token from the one or more devices available for pairing and sending the security token to a cloud service for authentication, wherein a profile is associated with the cloud client device, wherein the profile is specific to a particular user of the cloud service, wherein the cloud client device is restricted to one or more services from the cloud service based on the profile;

    by the cloud client device, receiving configuration data from the cloud service;

    by the cloud client device, configuring the cloud client device using the configuration data, wherein the configuration data comprises data associated with a communication protocol;

    by the cloud client device, requesting the one or more devices available for pairing to enter a pairing mode;

    by the cloud client device, pairing a display coupled to the cloud client device with the one or more devices available for pairing;

    by the cloud client device, providing a service of the paired one or more devices available for pairing to the display;

    by the cloud client device, receiving a first input from a client device coupled to the cloud client device;

    by the cloud client device, translating the first input from a first format to a second format;

    by the cloud client device, sending the translated first input to one of the one or more devices available for pairing using the communication protocol;

    by the cloud client device, receiving second input from one of the one or more devices available for pairing;

    by the cloud client device, translating the second input from a third format to a fourth format; and

    by the cloud client device, displaying the translated second input on the display.
