[00363] In embodiments of the present invention, improved capabilities are described for a home audio-visual system that is at least in part controlled through a mesh network, wherein the home audio-visual system produces at least two effects. Each of the at least two effects may be controlled through separate mesh network nodes responsive to user initiated instructions. The present invention describes powering, controlling, and operating a home audio visual system using a mesh network that includes an energy savings mode based at least in part on intermittently powered mesh network nodes that are associated with the home audio-visual system. In embodiments, the intermittently powered mesh network nodes may periodically wake up, listen for wake up calls and/or initiate a full power mode in the home audio visual system when a intermittently power mesh network node is awakened and receives a subsequent full power instruction. Intermittently powered mesh network nodes may be further associated with instruction routing that utilizes silent acknowledgement. The present invention describes monitoring an inhabitant of a living space, where an actuator is associated with a device within the living space. The actuator may be activated upon a status change of the device and transmit data based on its activation to a data facility. The data facility may compare the transmitted data to a device standard. A message may be generated based at least in part on the data comparison.
