1. A system for control of a group of devices, comprising:
- a network of nodes interconnected in a topology to form a mesh network, in which each device is connected to a node in the network, and in which each node comprises;
a receiver permitting reception of an instruction;
an instructor permitting transfer of an instruction to a device connected to the node; and
a transmitter permitting transmission of the instruction to an adjacent node, wherein the control system comprises a coordinator permitting communication with the nodes in the network.

14. A method for transmitting instructions to a group of devices, said method comprising the following steps:
-
connecting each device of the group to a node; interconnecting the nodes using a topology to create a mesh network; transmitting at least one instruction to a first node; transmitting said at least one instruction from this first node to the device connected to this first node to allow the device to perform the action which corresponds to this instruction; and transmitting said instruction from this first node to an adjacent node in order to perform an action with the device connected to this adjacent node. - View Dependent Claims (15)
