  • receiving at the first controllable appliance from a second controllable appliance a command communication, the command communication comprising at least a command for causing the first controllable appliance to be placed into a state;

    in response to the first controllable appliance receiving the command communication, causing the first controllable appliance to determine a trust level of the second controllable appliance;

    when it is determined by the first controllable appliance that the second controllable appliance is trustworthy, causing the first controllable appliance to automatically execute the command for causing the first controllable appliance to be placed into the first state;

    when it is determined by the first controllable appliance that the second controllable appliance is untrustworthy, causing the first controllable appliance to automatically ignore the command for causing the first controllable appliance to be placed into the first state; and
