Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 5:
6. A broadcast controller to independently control one or more electrical parameters of each of a plurality of communicatively coupled independent units, the broadcast controller including:
broadcast control circuitry to generate a plurality of signal types, including a first signal type and a second signal type;
wherein the first signal type to cause energy controller circuitry included in each respective one of the plurality of communicatively coupled independent units to:
adjust at least one electrical parameter of an operably coupled load device responsive to receipt of the first signal type that includes information representative of a unique address associated with the respective energy controller; and
maintain the at least one electrical parameter of the operably coupled load device responsive to receipt of the first signal type that includes information representative of a unique address associated with a different energy controller; and

wherein the second signal type to cause energy controller circuitry included in each respective one of the plurality of communicatively coupled independent units to:
adjust the at least one electrical parameter of the operably coupled load device responsive to receipt, by the receiver circuitry of the second signal type; and

broadcast transmitter circuitry to broadcast the first signal type and the second signal type.
