Abstract
A method for user control of one or more devices located within a physical space. The method includes creating a network block in response to a user input, the network block including network identifying metadata. The network identifying metadata includes a list of the one or more devices. The method also includes writing the network block to a ledger under a first user profile, linking the network block to a host server, receiving a first request to modify the network block, and modifying the network block. Modifying the network block includes adding network identifying metadata, deleting network identifying metadata, and altering network identifying metadata. The method also includes receiving a second request to transfer ownership of the network block and linking the network block to a second user profile. Linking the network block to the second user profile transfers ownership of the list of the one or more devices.
