1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an interfacing device, a device configuration that includes a rule for the interfacing device, wherein the rule includes an action description for performing an action, and includes a condition that indicates criteria for performing the action;
storing the rule in a rule repository;
determining a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule'"'"'s condition; and
subscribing to the data from the remote interfacing device.

Abstract
An interfacing device is configured to process one or more rules, based on sensor data, to perform a predetermined action. During operation, the device can receive a device configuration that includes a rule for the interfacing device. The rule can include an action description for performing an action, and can include a condition that takes sensor data as input and indicates criteria for performing the action. The device can store the rule in a rule repository, and determines a remote interfacing device that generates data associated with the rule'"'"'s condition. The device can also subscribe to the data from the remote interfacing device.
