1. A system for controlling an Internet of Things (IoT) device over a remote network based on substance measurements, comprising:
a processor of a controller node connected to a sensor node and to the IoT device over the remote network based on the substance measurements; and
a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
query an admin database for new measured parameter values acquired from the sensor node,
responsive to a particular measured value, of the new measured parameter values from the sensor node,
matching a rule, cause the IoT device associated with the sensor node to execute the rule,
extract, from the admin database, recent entries corresponding to the sensor node,
calculate rates of change for each of the new measured parameter values,
determine one or more data points related to the new measured parameter values, and
send a control command to the IoT device based on at least one of the calculated rates of change and at least one of the one or more data points,
wherein the processor of the controller node is connected to a temporary node connected to the sensor node and configured to repeat signals from the sensor node.
