Home automation using near field communication
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first network device and a second network device disposed at a site and configured to communicate with a wireless network, the first network device configured to perform a first operation of a plurality of operations of the first network device of at least a portion of the site and mapped to the second network device that is configured to perform a second operation of a plurality of operations of the second network device different than the first operation;
a controller disposed at the site and in communication with the wireless network;
at least one of a plurality of passive devices disposed at the site and including a unique identifier disposed thereon, the unique identifier associated with at least one of the plurality of operations of the first network device and the second network device;
the controller configured to communicate with a mobile device associated with the site and including a communication chip disposed thereon, the communication chip configured to read the unique identifier when the mobile device is moved into communication with the at least one of the plurality of passive devices;
a mobile application disposed on the mobile device and configured to transmit the unique identifier to the controller; and
the controller further configured to effectuate the first network device to perform the first operation and the second network device to perform the second operation different than the first operation in response to receiving the unique identifier from the mobile application.

Abstract
A system includes a network device that is disposed at a site and configured to communicate with a wireless network. A controller is disposed at the site and is in communication with the wireless network, and a passive device is disposed at the site and includes a unique identifier disposed thereon. The system further includes a mobile device associated with the site and which includes a communication chip. The communication chip is configured to read the unique identifier when the mobile device is placed in close proximity to the passive device, and a mobile application disposed on the mobile device is configured to transmit the unique identifier to the controller for use in controlling the network device.
