-9. (canceled)
A device for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory having instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the device to perform operations comprising:
- wirelessly communicating with electronic devices configured to automatically communicate directly with one another via a local network, the electronic devices including a first electronic device and a second electronic device;
- controlling operation of one or more of the electronic devices based on one or more signals from a remote server device;
- receiving environmental data from the first electronic device;
- and
- automatically controlling, based on the received environmental data, at least one of settings, activities, or functionality of the second electronic device.
A method, comprising:
- automatically controlling operation of wireless electronic devices, wherein each of the wireless electronic devices is programmed to communicate via a wireless mesh network, wherein each wireless electronic device includes
- one or more sensors configured to capture data,
- at least one processor,
- a memory, and
- a transmitter;
- and
- receiving data from at least one of the wireless electronic devices;
- and
- controlling at least one of the other wireless electronic devices based on at least a portion of the received data.
A system for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory having instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
- wirelessly communicate with electronic devices configured to automatically communicate wirelessly via a mesh network;
- automatically control at least one of the electronic devices based on one or more events detected by one of the electronic devices;
- and
- directly communicate with one or more of the electronic devices to receive environmental data transmitted via the mesh network and independent of any remote server device.
