Abstract With recent advancements in communications and sensor technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been experiencing rapid growth. It is estimated that billions of objects will be connected, which would create a vast amount of data. Cloud computing has been the predominant choice for monitoring connected objects and delivering data-based intelligence, but high response time and network load of cloud-based solutions are limiting factors for IoT deployment. In order to cope with this challenge, this paper proposes a novel approach to provide low-level intelligence for IoT applications through an IoT edge controller that is leveraging the Fuzzy Logic Controller along with edge computing. This low-level intelligence, together with cloud-based intelligence, forms the distributed IoT intelligence. The proposed controller allows distributed IoT gateway to manage input uncertainties; besides, by interacting with its environment, the learning system can enhance its performance over time, which leads to improving the reliability of the IoT gateway. Therefore, such a controller is able to offer different context-aware reasoning to alleviate the distributed IoT. A simulated smart home scenario has been done to prove the plausibility of the low-level intelligence concerning reducing latency and more accurate prediction through learning experiences at the edge.
