1. A method for controlling data remotely comprising: connecting to a remote device within a fabric of smart devices from a local smart device within the fabric of smart devices, wherein the remote device stores data locally, wherein the remote device comprises a smart device having at least one sensor; and remotely controlling the data stored in the remote device from the local smart device connected to the fabric by transmitting a message to the remote device, wherein the transmitted message includes a profile identifier that causes a data management entity of the remote device to perform an indicated data management action, wherein the profile identifier identifies a data management profile, and the message includes a command tag that indicates the data management action to be performed, and wherein the data management action comprises: a subscribe action configured to cause the remote device to store an indicator of the local smart device as a subscriber to the data, and the indicator of the local smart device as the subscriber is configured to cause the remote device to send the data to the local smart device; wherein the subscribe action is configured to cause the remote device to send the data to the local smart device when: the remote device determines that the data has changed from a state last sent to the local smart device; and an interval for sending the data has expired; a view action configured to send the data to be viewed that is stored locally on the remote device to the local smart device; or an update action configured to update the data stored locally to a value sent by the local smart device.
