发明名称 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SYNCHRONIZATION AND REMOTE CONTROL OF CONTROLLING UNITS
摘要 Systems and methods for controlling devices, including controller and actuators are disclosed. Actuators may be devices where remote control of the device or devices is convenient, such as lights, window shades, fans and similar items. In one method, a user sends a command to a controller and to an actuator. The controller also sends a proxy update to a second controller that is also in communication with the actuator. The proxy controller, also in contact with the actuator, now has knowledge of the state or position of the actuator and is in a better position if the proxy controller is asked to assume control of the actuator. In another method, an actuator or controller may also receive a trigger setup, asking the actuator to tell the controller when an action occurs, but not to take action until receiving a further command from the controller.

主权项 1. A method for controlling an actuator, the method comprising: sending a command from a controller to an actuator; sending a message from the controller to a second controller informing the second controller of the command, wherein the controller and the second controller store a state of the actuator as a result of the actuator executing the command; sending a second command from the second controller to the actuator; and sending a message from the second controller to the controller informing the controller of the second command, wherein the controller and the second controller store the state of the actuator as a result of the actuator executing the second command.
