I would suggest you look into https://opendof.org. We've used it a lot to bridge between different protocols, and it has some great APIs (Java, C#, C) that make it easy to work with other protocols. As you point out, the biggest problem is finding a unified protocol. Most of the devices you mention do not have standardized protocols (much less a unified one), so getting them to talk together can be tricky. Worse, trying to get information out of the vendors about the protocols their product uses is sometimes pretty difficult. However, OpenDOF can be that "unifying" protocol, and be the bridge to other protocols. It's also transport-agnostic, so it is easy to bridge between multiple different transports (e.g., TCP/IP, serial, Bluetooth, 802.15.4, etc.). Let me know if you have any questions on it.
