1. A system for controlling the application of operating power to electrical loads, comprising:

  • a network including communication media and a plurality of control modules coupled to the media, each control module configured to send, receive, and process program commands, information relating to module operating status and sensed environmental conditions to and from other control modules connected to the network;

    each control module including stored parameters which determine its operating performance, and each control module being configured to set the value of each parameter to a value selected from a set of stored operational values in response to a program command communicated over the network;

    each control module including a sensor for sensing an environmental condition selected from the group consisting of sunlight, artificial light, motion of a body within a defined zone of interest, temperature, vibration and sound;

    each control module being configured to store device operational status information and information relating to a sensed environmental condition; and

    each control module being configured to change the set value of one or more of its operating parameters to a different value selected from a set of stored operational values at least in part in response to environmental status information or device operational status information communicated over the network from one or more network-connected control modules.
