1. A device hub, the device hub managing a plurality of connected devices, wherein the device hub communicates with and manages operations of the connected devices via a network connection, the device hub comprising:

  • a memory;

    at least one hardware processor interoperably coupled with the memory and configured to;

    identify a master resource allocation associated with a plurality of connected devices, the master resource allocation associated with resource usage associated with the plurality of connected devices;

    monitor resource usage information associated with each of the connected devices from the plurality of connected devices, wherein each of the plurality of connected devices are assigned a portion of the master resource allocation;

    compare the monitored resource usage information associated with the plurality of connected devices to the master resource allocation for the plurality of connected devices to determine if at least one of the connected devices exceeds its corresponding portion of the master resource allocation;

    in response to determining that at least one of the connected devices exceeds its corresponding portion of the master resource allocation;

    identify at least one device management rule associated with the determination that the at least one of the connected device exceeds its corresponding portion of the master resource allocation, wherein the at least one device management rule defines a priority of different device types included in the plurality of connected devices;

    determine, based on the defined priority of the different device types included in the plurality of connected devices, at least one connected device of a device type at a relatively lower priority level in than the at least one device management rules than the at least one of the connected device exceeding its corresponding portion of the master resource allocation;

    identify at least one operational modification to the at least one connected device of a device type at the relatively lower priority level based on the at least one device management rule; and

    transmit an instruction to perform the at least one operational modification to the at least one connected device of the device type at the relatively lower priority level, wherein the at least one connected device of the device type at the relatively lower priority level performs the at least one operational modification in response to receiving the transmitted instruction.
