1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device, data indicating that a second computing device is configured to communicate using a first communication protocol;
receiving, by the first computing device, data indicating that a third computing device is configured to communicate using the first communication protocol and a second communication protocol;
determining, by the first computing device, that the second computing device is unable to communicate with a fourth computing device;
determining, by the first computing device, a context of a user of the second computing device;
based on determining that the second computing device is unable to communicate with the fourth computing device and the context of the user of the second computing device, generating, by the first computing device, an instruction for the third computing device to communicate with the second computing device using the first communication protocol; and
providing, for output by the first computing device and to the third computing device, the instruction for the third computing device to communicate with the second computing device using the first communication protocol.
