Patent Images
1. A home gateway system, comprising:
- a wireless local loop transceiver to establish a wireless local loop point to point link to a geographically separated base station coupled to a network;
a home automation controller to communicate with the wireless local loop transceiver and to monitor a parameter associated with an appliance implemented at a building associated with the home automation controller, wherein the home automation controller is to cause communication of a first message via the wireless local loop transceiver to an address associated with a person associated with the building when the parameter exceeds an operating range defined to include values of the parameter corresponding to proper operation of the appliance; and
a home security controller, integrated with the home automation controller, to communicate with the wireless local loop transceiver and to monitora security signal, wherein a status of the security signal causes the wireless local loop transceiver to send a second message to a security entity.
