1. A method to automatically control a network device on a home-control network, the method comprising:
- receiving at a first network device on a home-control network message data from a second network device over the home-control network, the first network device configured to change an operation of the first network device, the home-control network configured to propagate messages, the message data from the second network device associated with a state of the second network device;
receiving sensor data from a sensor configured to measure a first parameter;
receiving user inputs in response to manual actions of a user to change the operation of the first network device, wherein the user inputs are received independently of the home-control network;
storing in memory past user inputs that changed the operation of the first network device; and
automatically changing the state of the first network device with the first network device based at least in part on the message data from the second network device, the sensor data, and the past user inputs.

11. A system to automatically control a network device on a home-control network, the system comprising:
-
a first network device configured to receive messages over the home-control network, the first network device further configured to change an operation of the first network device, the home-control network configured to propagate messages; a second network device configured to send message data over the home-control network, the first network device further configured to receive the message data from the second network device over the home-control network, the message data from the second network device associated with a state of the second network device; a sensor configured to provide sensor data measuring a first parameter, the first network device further configured to receive the sensor data; the first network device further configured to receive user inputs in response to manual actions of a user to change the operation of the first network device, wherein the user inputs are received independently of the home-control network; the first network device further configured to store in memory past user inputs that changed the operation of the first network device; and the first network device further configured to automatically change the state of the first network device based at least in part on the message data from the second network device, the sensor data, and the past user inputs. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
