Claim 9:
10. A computer product comprising a non-volatile memory having stored thereon program code that, when executed by a processor or a control unit, configures the processor to carry out the acts of:
emitting a synchronization signal to a plurality of end nodes, wherein
the end nodes include a sensor node and an actuator; and

receiving one or more response signals from the end nodes,
performing an actuation triggered by reception of the synchronization signal,
generating a sensor signal prompted by reception of the synchronization signal, wherein
the synchronization signal is further configured to address a subset or all of the end nodes to:
enable a synchronized action of the addressed end nodes, and/or
trigger a generation of one or more response signals from the sensor node of the end nodes in response to the emitted synchronization signal; and

evaluating the actuation of the actuator based on the received response signal from the sensor node, wherein
the end nodes are configured to be in a standby mode with a decreased energy consumption and to wake up upon receiving the synchronization signal.
