First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a stand-alone local area network;
a server outside the stand-alone local area network, wherein the server is part of a cloud of servers, the server comprising;
hardware processors that process system operation information updates from a user for the stand-alone local area network;
hardware memory that stores the system operation information updates; and
a transceiver tor communicating the system operation information updates to the stand-alone local area network;
primary network hub (PNH) of the stand-alone local area network comprising;
a PNH microcontroller that stores the system operation information;
a PNH cloud-side transceiver networked to the cloud of servers for receiving the system operation information updates from the server; and
a PNH local area network Long range transceiver that communicates via a long range spread spectrum (SS) signal or a narrowband frequency shift keying (FSK) signal;
a peripheral device (PD) of the stand-alone local area network comprising a PD microcontroller, a PD local network transceiver, and an actuation mechanism, wherein the system operation information includes actuation instructions for the PD.

Abstract
A cloud-networked stand-alone local area network (LAN) is disclosed. A stand-alone LAN is networked to a server outside the stand-alone LAN, and the server is part of a cloud of servers. The server includes hardware processors that process system operation information updates from a user for the stand-alone LAN, hardware memory that stores the system operation information updates; and a transceiver for communicating the system operation information updates to the stand-alone LAN. The stand-alone LAN includes a primary network hub (PNH) having a microcontroller that stores the system operation information, a cloud-side transceiver networked to the cloud of servers for receiving the system operation information updates from the server, and a PNH LAN long range transceiver that communicates via a long range spread spectrum or a narrowband frequency shift keying signal. The stand-alone LAN also includes a peripheral device having a microcontroller and an actuation mechanism.
