1. A control device, for operation at an area, that provides and manages services for one or more endpoint devices associated with the control device, the control device comprising:

  • a first interface that enables communications within the area, between the control device and the one or more of the endpoint devices;

    wherein a first application service provided by the control device receives information from a first endpoint device of the one or more of the endpoint devices to provide monitoring for the area;

    wherein a second application service provides automation of a second endpoint device of the one or more endpoint devices by sending commands to the second of the one or more endpoint devices via the first interface; and

    a second interface that enables communications, for the one or more endpoint devices, with a remotely located application service management center external to the area;

    a processor device coupled to the interfaces;

    memory, coupled to the processor device, storing programming comprising;

    logic to execute multiple application services, including the first application service and the second application service;

    logic to interact with a third endpoint device that communicates with the control device and shows a graphical user interface,wherein first user interactions with the graphical user interface implement, via the control device, configurations or controls for the first endpoint device, andwherein second user interactions with the graphical user interface implement, via the control device, configurations or controls for automation of the second endpoint device;

    logic to determine the availability of resources that can be allocated to facilitate execution of multiple application services provided by the control device; and

    logic to manage the resources of the control device such that a request, by one of the endpoint devices, can be implemented without causing other services provided by the control device to function below a required functional state, wherein the required functional state enables communications between the control device and other remotely located systems;

    wherein initialization or execution of the logic is performed responsive to the communications with the remotely located application service management center.
