Abstract
A home device controller can receive inputs on a touch control mechanism from a user to control a selected home device in a local network of the home device controller. The controller can generate a set of control commands based on the inputs, and transmit the set of control commands to the selected home device for execution. The controller can publish state data indicating a state of the selected home device, following execution of the set of control commands, to a message bus of the distributed system, the message bus being accessed by each of the plurality of home device controllers to mitigate or resolve fault conditions occurring with any of the home controllers in the distributed system.
