Abstract
This application discloses embodiments of systems and methods for a flexible automation system for a network of connected machines. In some embodiments, the network of connected machines uses one or more of wireless protocols such as Zigbee, ZWave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other IEEE 802.15.4 protocols. The systems and methods provide a flexible automation system where end users can customize the operation of the network of connected machines to suit the automation logic desired. Intuitive graphical user interface methods are provided to allow users to implement their custom logic without requiring custom software programming. Systems and methods are provided to customize downloadable and sharable automation software applications to work in a variety of non-identical network configurations. Intuitive graphical user interface methods are provided to allow users to custom configure automation rules for their network of machines by remote collaboration or allowing remote configuring by experts. In one embodiment, a major goal of the disclosures is to provide many methods to a user to implement complex automation logic, for his network, his way, as he imagined it and without need for progr…
