Distributed wireless home network and commercial electrical automation system

摘要

A central controller is disclosed to enable home and commercial automation for automatic, remote control of a wide variety of lights, appliances, HVAC and other systems utilizing a wireless distributed network. The central controller preferably employs a standard CPU and embedded operating system software. Graphical and audio user interfaces can be implemented. Harmonic distortion due to non-linear AC loads are mitigated in single-phase circuits through intelligent control of the loads and/or through intelligent complementary control of linear loads.
