Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for using a primary controller in a mesh network to instruct a static update controller to enable node information server functionality to form a static update controller information server. Capabilities are described for using the static update controller information server to enable other controllers in the mesh network to command other nodes in the mesh network on behalf of the static update controller information server, to distribute an installation process to a plurality of controllers in a mesh network, and the like. The present invention further describes improved capabilities for associating a static update controller with an inclusion controller within a mesh network, associating the inclusion controller with a node slave within the mesh network, transmitting a first data between the static update controller and the inclusion controller, wherein the first data relates at least in part to the node slave, and transmitting a second data between the inclusion controller and the node slave, wherein the second data relates at least in part to the first data transmitted.
