Abstract

A home environment managing method and system to manage home environment values from a plurality of locations is disclosed. The method allows in an acquisition mode to acquire through a Universal Remote Console a plurality of reference sets of home environment values from the plurality of locations. Each of the plurality of reference sets of home environment values are converted into a normalized set using a respective translation algorithm. Each normalized set is stored with a link to the translation algorithm used during the conversion. Furthermore, in a restore mode, a normalized set of home environment values is converted into a reference set using the translation algorithm linked to it, and then the reference set is restore to the appropriate location through a Universal Remote Console.
