Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention, improved capabilities are described for a home audio-visual system that is at least in part controlled through a mesh network, wherein the home audio-visual system produces at least two effects. Each of the at least two effects may be controlled through separate mesh network nodes responsive to user initiated instructions. Each of the separate mesh network nodes may be adapted to receive the user initiate instructions through a channel management operation. The home audio-visual system may be associated with a channel management operation that is associated with one or more nodes of the mesh network to effect the communication of the information.
