Simulates internet-of-things capability in a non-smart object using a wireless communication device with sensors and feedback that reacts to stored triggers.
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for simulating an internet of things capability in an object. Storage media may store reactions executable by a wirelesscommunication device. The wireless communication device may include one or more sensors and one or more feedback capabilities. Individual reactions may be characterized by reaction criteria detectable by the one or more sensors and reaction effects executable through the one or more feedback capabilities. One or more processors may be configured by machine readable instructions to receive input indicating an object association between the wireless communication device and the object, and, responsive to reception of the input, activate a set of reactions for the wireless communication device.

FIG. 1 illustrates a system 10 for simulating an internet of things capability in an object. System 10 may include one or more of storage media 11, wireless communication device 30, processor 40, and/or other components. Storage media 11, wireless communication device 30, processor 40, and/or other components of system 10 may communicate with each other directly or may communicate with each other indirectly, such as through network 60. Storage media 11 may store reactions 20 executable by wireless communication device 30. Wireless communication device 30 may include a sensor 31 and one or more feedback capabilities 32. Individual reactions of reactions 20 may be characterized by reaction criteria detectable by sensor 31 and reaction effects executable thro
