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.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for communicating with an electronic device, comprising:

a control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus comprises:
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor;
and
a control clamp coupled to the processor, the control clamp being configured to splice into a power line to disrupt electrical power through the power line while simultaneously redirecting electrical power from the power line through the control apparatus and to the electronic device, wherein the control clamp includes a non-conductive blade that disrupts the electrical power through the power line when a conductive blade of the control clamp splices into the power line;
wherein the control apparatus is configured to:
establish a power line communication link between the electronic device and the processor;
and
establish a wireless communication link between a remote device and the processor;
wherein the control apparatus is configured to relay a communication between the power line communication link and the wireless communication link.
