@FinchHaven @evan I can’t speak for Evan, but that’s not how I interpret the question.
Mastodon primarily operates on the Note object type of Activity Streams. I would imagine in this Fediverse of Things scenario, devices would send out other object types, like Temp readings.
In turn allowing any other software to implement receiving of those particular activities. Creating a scenario where sensors and business logic is independent and interoperable.
