Domestic monitoring and control system

摘要

A domestic monitoring and control system is disclosed which permits integrated remote control of domestic devices. A base unit controls devices such as light switches (54), power supply controllers (48) etc. and also serves as a telephone PABX and voice mail system. The system is operative to respond to commands entered on a telephone keypad either directly connected locally or remotely over a telephone line. These commands can serve to change the state of a device or to reproduce a message informing the status of a device.
