1. A method of machine-to-machine communication comprising:

  • authenticating a source of an issued command;

    performing device discovery according to the authenticated source of the issued command;

    reviewing a content of the issued command and comparing the content of the issued command with a preset programming;

    generating notifications based on a comparison of the preset programming and both stored device reporting information and synchronous device reporting information, wherein the preset programming comprises at least one of a determination of reported data trends, device status, device communication failure, device operating in an unauthorized manner, reported level deviating from an expected range, and reported data exceeding a safety condition;

    querying, storing and retrieving information from a database based on the comparison;

    translating a common telemetry interface to a device specific protocol;

    executing a device method instance in real-time, wherein the device method instance comprises at least one of a device specific protocol information, device specific location information, device identifier, and device specific network information;

    executing a method in simulated synchronously if real-time data is unavailable;

    translating from the device specific protocol to the common telemetry interface; and

    storing and replying to the source of the issued command.
