1. A home automation system for managing multiple endpoint devices located at a user premises, the home automation system comprising:
one or more processors;
memory storing communication instructions executable by the one or more processors to provide at home server functionality, and
a set of communications interfaces that communicates with at least two of the multiple endpoint devices,
wherein the home automation system interacts with a newly available endpoint device of the multiple endpoint devices and accesses an executable software module associated with the newly available endpoint device to add a new device functionality, previously unavailable to the home automation system,
wherein the set of communications interfaces communicatively couples the newly available endpoint device to at least one of (1) one or more of the multiple endpoint devices and (2) a computing device that remotely manages operations of the multiple endpoint devices through a graphical user interface, and
wherein the home automation system sends a control signal to one or more of the multiple endpoint devices in response to a trigger from the computing device and/or the newly available endpoint device.
