Abstract
A method for mapping and controlling network-enabled appliances with a control device may comprise collecting spatial information in three dimensions as at least one sensor of the control device is moved within an environment, receiving registration signals from network-enabled appliances in the environment, and associating each network-enabled appliance with a respective 3D position in the environment based on the spatial information. The method may include generating a digital map of the environment from the spatial information and placing a representation of each network-enabled appliance on the digital map based on the respective 3D position. The method may also include generating a spatially aware rule set that applies to one or more rooms within the environment. The method may also include detecting a trigger event, and in response to the trigger event, commanding the network-enabled appliances according to the spatially aware rule set.
