TECHNICAL FIELD

The present techniques relate generally to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. More specifically the present techniques relate to devices that can send alerts when preselected operational limits are exceeded.

BACKGROUND

It has been estimated that the Internet of Things (IoT) may bring Internet connectivity to 50 billion devices by 2020. For organizations, the fault management of these devices in terms of detecting and diagnosing abnormal operations on specific devices may be of great importance. Maximizing the operational lifetime and uptime of the devices and their services may require the intelligent analysis of operational data from the device. However, as large numbers of devices are implemented, a central controlling and monitoring of the devices may not be scalable. Further, significant network traffic may be generated, resulting in higher costs.
