Bridges are modules that allow IOTDB to connect to Things, to actually make them do things / get readings.
If you want to use a Bridge, just use it
const iotdb = require("iotdb")
iotdb.use("homestar-wemo")
and it will import the module. After you've imported the module, you can then connect to Models, which will get you access to the individual things.
const things = iotdb.connect("WeMoSwitch")

Although we've put this as Class A, some of the odder devices - e.g. Crockpot - have not been tested yet.
Control Google Chromecast.
This works OK but some of the underlying node modules are flaky.
Control Node.JS code or Shell commands. This works, but it would be nice for them to be able to do things like send back data.
This was the code for this https://www.hackster.io/dpjanes/home-star-aws-iot-amazon-echo-07319c. Not actively maintained, something better coming soon.
