	Many networked devices that can interface their physical environments are available off-the-shelf or can be built in 2016. A comprehensive management of those Smart Devices is required to unlock the existing potential. However, the amount and heterogeneity of the devices make their management difficult. A suitable abstraction is missing. This paper identifies requirements on managing Smart Devices from diverse research fields, assesses relevant existing work, proposes a new management middleware design, and evaluates it quantitatively and qualitatively. The presented novel middleware architecture could become an enabler for a software maker culture.
