Controlling tons of different IoT devices with Swift
summary
A Swift SDK controls roughly 40 different ZigBee device types using a protocol‑driven request model with associated types called Requestable protocol and Reactive patterns via ReactiveSwift. Playgrounds in Xcode 10 host live demos and integration tests, the live demo works but remains experimental. Every network call can emit a curl output logging line for debugging, responses decode into model objects, services are easily mocked for tests, there are 100+ tests now and an estimated 600 tests needed to cover all device rules.
