1. A home automation (HA) system comprising:

  • a plurality of HA operation devices within a building structure;

    a plurality of HA hub devices;

    a plurality of HA user interface devices within the building structure, each HA user interface device configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one of the plurality of HA operation devices via a respective one of the plurality of HA hub devices to perform at least one HA operation; and

    said plurality of HA hub devices to provide communications within the building structure for the plurality of HA user interface devices and the plurality of HA operation devices, the plurality of HA hub devices each having an HA hub device identifier associated therewith and configured to determine a wireless communications time slot for wirelessly communicating with corresponding ones of the plurality of HA operation devices, each wireless communications time slot being determined relative to a same reference time with a corresponding different time offset relative to other time offsets, each different time offset being determined based upon a corresponding HA hub device identifier so that a given wireless communications time slot is non-overlapping in time with other wireless communications time slots.
