> Use case:  I need to be able to write an Edgent application for my "IoT Gateway" device.  An IoT Gateway device is a conduit for a collection of IoT devices that lack direct connection to the enterprise IoT hub.  There can be IoT device events and commands that are targeted to the gateway device, as well as IoT device events and commands that are targeted to devices connected to it.
> The Edgent application needs to be able to deal with all of those types of IoT device events and commands.
> The Edgent gateway device application needs to be able to utilize the [IotProvider|https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent/blob/master/providers/iot/src/main/java/org/apache/edgent/providers/iot/IotProvider.java] provider.
> I'll create a Pull Request with a starting point for API discussion.
