1. A method of controlling remote communication with an Internet of Things (IoT) proximal network comprising one or more IoT devices, the method comprising:

  • detecting, by an IoT SuperAgent/Gateway configured to control remote communication with the IoT proximal network, presence of a user device in the IoT proximal network, wherein the user device is previously registered with the IoT SuperAgent/Gateway;

    determining, by the IoT SuperAgent/Gateway, if one or more remote communication criteria for disabling remote communication by one or more devices outside the IoT proximal network with the one or more IoT devices in the IoT proximal network are met; and

    disabling, by the IoT SuperAgent/Gateway, the remote communication by the one or more devices outside the IoT proximal network with the one or more IoT devices in the IoT proximal network if the user device is present in the IoT proximal network and if the one or more remote communication criteria for disabling the remote communication are met.
