Claim 8:
9. A sensor operable on a network, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor and including instructions that when executed, cause the processor to:
receive, from a backend server, configuration information identifying network services on a local area network, the configuration information comprising a network service type and a device identifier of a service device;
transmit a service discovery request to an access point on the local area the network based on the configuration information received from the backend server, the service discovery request including the network service type;
measure one or more network performance metrics;
set a discoverability state of the service device based on the one or more network performance metrics exceeding a threshold associated with the one or more network performance metrics, the sensor setting a second discoverability state if the one or more network performance metrics do not exceed the threshold; and

determine that the service device is discoverable based on the discoverability state.
