A system including a number of intelligent devices connected to each other through a network. The devices are adapted for interacting with each other and automatically discovering new devices by sending and receiving messages over the network. Each intelligent device has a hardware and a software unit. The network includes a plurality of connections having different comminications protocols. The software unit includes a module for discovering a new connection between the devices, identifying the communication protocol of the new connection, and creating a channel adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol. A method for providing such a system includes connecting an intelligent device to a intelligent device via a connection having a communication protocol, discovering the connection and identifying the communication protocol of the connection, and creating a channel, for each of the devices respectively, adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol. |
