Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring and controlling electronic devices using wired and wireless protocols are disclosed. The systems and apparatus may monitor their environment for signals from electronic devices. The systems and apparatus may take and disambiguate the signals that are received from the devices in their environment to identify the devices and associate control signals with the devices. The systems and apparatus may use communication means to send control signals to the identified electronic devices. Multiple apparatuses or systems may be connected together into networks, including mesh networks, to make for a more robust architecture.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling electronic devices located at a site, comprising:\n coupling a plurality of control apparatus to one or more electronic devices located at a site, wherein the control apparatus comprise a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein coupling the control apparatus to an electronic device comprises coupling the control apparatus to at least one conductor in a power line associated with the electronic device receiving power from the power line, the control apparatus redirecting electrical power from the at least one conductor through the control apparatus and to the electronic device receiving power from the power line; establishing a first communication link between a first control apparatus and at least one electronic device located at the site, the first communication link comprising at least one of a wireless communication link and a power line communication link; establishing a second communication link between a second control apparatus and the at least one electronic device located at the site, the second communication link comprising a wireless communication link and/or a power line communication link; and monitoring and controlling the at least one electronic device with at least one of the first control apparatus and the second control apparatus using at least one of the first established communication link and the second established communication link.
