A system and method for adding a gateway to a first device having a first network connector. An embedded gateway module includes a processor, a memory connected to the processor and first and second network interfaces, wherein the first network connection uses a first network protocol and the second network connection uses a second network protocol. The embedded gateway module is installed in the first device, wherein installing includes sharing the first device's first network connector. The gateway then connects the gateway through the first network to a device manager application at a remote location, connects the gateway module to the second network, installs gateway program data for receiving data from a second device over the second network and storing the received data as channels of data and installs presentation program data for presenting the channel data to applications running on the cloud.
