Abstract
A microprocessor-based electronic control system allows firefighters and emergency response personnel the ability to assign individual sleeping quarters, dorm rooms or an area of a facility to a specific apparatus/vehicle/unit that is dispatched through an existing electronic fire station alert notification system. The control system controls actuation of devices throughout a building from any location as well as from remote locations. The devices can be anything such as lights, speakers, appliances, watering systems, and other devices. This is accomplished by a network of nodes including a master controller and a plurality of slaves. The system is modular and scalable according to need. It is also flexible for use on various applications. Programmable switches are used for displaying statuses and for selecting various options.
