hubs/devices to SmartApps that are subscribed to specific
devices/events.
This layer provides the Data Access Layer for data
about accounts, users, and devices and is responsible for the
execution of SmartApps.
This layer provides the web services or
Application Programmatic Interface (API) layer that supports both
the mobile applications as well as developers who want to integrate
