`demand interoperability between household systems, appli(cid:173)
`ances, and computing devices, the Electronics Industry
`Association (EIA) has adopted an industry standard, known
`as the Consumer Electronics Bus (CEBus). The CEBus is
`designed to provide reliable communications between suit(cid:173)
`ably configured residential devices through a multi-trans(cid:173)
`mission media approach within a single residence.
`One problem with expanding the use of control systems
`technology to distributed systems is the cost associated with
`10 developing the local sensor-actuator infrastructure necessary
`to interconnect the various devices. A typical approach to
`implementing control system technology is to install a local
`network of hard-wired sensors and actuators along with a
`local controller. Not only is there expense associated with
`15 developing and installing appropriate sensors and actuators,
`but the added expense of connecting functional sensors and
`actuators with the local controller is also problematic.
`Another prohibitive cost is the expense associated with the
`installation and operational expense associated with pro-
`20 gramming the local controller.
`Accordingly, an alternative solution for implementing a
`distributed control system suitable for monitoring and con(cid:173)
`trolling remote devices that overcomes the shortcomings of
`the prior art is desired.

`ing and Controlling Remote Devices." Each of the identified 25
`U.S. patent applications is incorporated herein by reference

`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention generally relates to systems for
`monitoring and/or controlling a plurality of remote devices
`via a host computer connected to a wide area network
`(WAN), and more particularly relates to systems and meth-
`ods for managing communication between the host com- 35
`puter and the plurality of remote devices.
`

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`There are a variety of systems for monitoring and/or 40
`controlling any of a number of systems and/or processes,
`such as, for example, manufacturing processes, inventory
`systems, emergency control systems, personal security sys(cid:173)
`tems, residential systems, and electric utility meters to name
`a few. In many of these "automated monitoring systems," a
`host computer in communication with a wide area network
`monitors and/or controls a plurality of remote devices
`arranged within a geographical region. The plurality of
`remote devices typically use remote sensors and controllers
`to monitor and respond to various system parameters to 50
`reach desired results. A number of automated monitoring
`systems use computers or dedicated microprocessors in
`association with appropriate software to process system
`inputs, model system responses, and control actuators to
`implement corrections within a system.
`Various schemes have been proposed to facilitate com(cid:173)
`munication between the host computer and the remote
`devices within the system, including RF transmission, light
`transmission (including infra-red), and control signal modu(cid:173)
`lation over the local power distribution network. For 60
`example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,697,166 to Wamagiris et al.
`describes a power-line carrier backbone for inter-element
`communications. As recognized in U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,190
`to Zimmerman, there is a growing interest in home auto(cid:173)
`mation systems and products that facilitate such systems. 65
`One system, critically described in the Zimmerman patent,
`is the X-10 system. Recognizing that consumers will soon
`
`The present invention provides wireless communication
`networks for providing remote monitoring of devices. One
`embodiment of the present invention is generally directed to
`a cost-effective automated monitoring system and method
`for monitoring and controlling a pluralit
