1. A stand-alone module for use in a user-configurable monitor/control network, wherein said module performs a pre-defined function, the module comprising:

  • an interface component that performs a pre-defined function;

    a processor component that interfaces with the interface component, implements local computation, and maintains local state information wherein the processor component executes a uni-directional packet-based communication protocol for communication with other modules when the module is configured in a network of one or more other stand-alone modules; and

    a power source component configured to supply power to the interface component and the processor component.
