<p>A home automation and security system (200) is provided in which a home automation and security controller (210) in a customer premises (220) is coupled with a remotely located central control facility (230) using a continuous connectivity access line (240) providing a data channel separate from a voice channel. The controller (210) at the customer premises (220) is responsible for monitoring and applying control signals to devices (327) in the home and for supporting a human interface (313). The remotely located central control facility (230) is responsible for providing the computational and database resources to the controller (310). By redistributing functionality, the network-based structure of this home automation and security system (200) can overcome the disadvantages of conventional home automation and security systems.</p> |
