1. A system, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;

    interfacing to sensor devices of a sensor network comprising a control plane that transports control messages for the sensor devices and a data plane that transports data messages for the sensor devices, wherein the sensor devices are on the data plane;

    receiving, via the data plane, a data message associated with the sensor devices that measure a physical attribute, wherein the data message comprises measurement data associated with the physical attribute and is transmitted by a first sensor device of the sensor devices; and

    receiving, via the control plane, a control message associated with the sensor devices in accordance with a first network protocol that differs from a second network protocol associated with the data message, wherein the control message comprises instruction data associated with the sensor devices and is transmitted by a second sensor device of the sensor devices.
