The home controller is used to draw together external communications networks, such as LANs and WANs, internal communications networks, such as a home network of modules, and applications which can reside on or across any of the above networks. The home controller provides for connectivity of the modules with the respective networks, and supports a wide variety of communications parameters and network technologies.
