1. A method of controlling at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device, comprising:
pairing, by at least one processor upon executing first instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, an interactable augmented reality (AR) overlay with the at least one IoT device, the interactable overlay including control information for generating a control signal for controlling the at least one IoT device when the interactable overlay is interacted with by an AR camera device;
presenting, by the at least one processor upon executing the first instructions stored on the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, the interactable overlay on a display of the AR camera device when the at least one IoT device is in a field of view of the AR camera device;
receiving, by the at least one processor upon executing second instructions stored on the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, an indication that the user has pointed the AR camera device at the interactable overlay associated with the at least one IoT device on the display of the AR camera device; and
in response to the indication, sending, by the at least one processor upon executing the second instructions stored on the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, a control signal associated with the interactable overlay pointed at by the AR camera device to the at least one IoT device that is associated with the interactable overlay pointed at by the AR camera device.
