HOME AUTOMATION DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a home automation system that is automated based on user preferences provided by a social networking system, where the home automation system provides a short-range, high-speed wireless connection that is contained within the safe boundaries of a home. Briefly described, the home automation system employs one or more home automation devices to control various home devices within the home based on detection of one or more users' social profile, where each home automation device is configured to broadcast and communicate via a short-range, multi-gigabit-per-second (MGbps) wireless communication link that can be utilized by the various home devices. Furthermore, each home automation device is configured to be self-tuning, thereby enabling automatic efficient management of the MGbps wireless communication link.
