Abstract: A mobile communication device operates to: pair with a remote device, generate first control data to control an auxiliary device coupled to a home automation device also paired to the mobile communication device; establish a group of the plurality of home automation devices; generate second control data corresponding to the group of auxiliary devices associated with the group of the home automation devices; establish tasks, via user interaction with the graphical user interface, the tasks each having an associated action to be performed by one or more of the home automation devices; display a menu of the tasks; receive selection of a selected task; and generate third control data in response to selection of the selected task, transmits the third control data to the one or more of the home automation devices associated with the selected task to perform the associated action corresponding to the selected task.

Abstract: An automated web-based system and application manages the creation, sharing and validation of program schedule data collaboratively among multiple teams in a structured manner to generate a networked program schedule such as for an events-based IMP/IMS. The Integrated Planning Solution (IPS) application provides a structured approach to large events-based planning that is time and cost efficient, produces well-managed, adequate and realistic schedules, is repeatable from project-to-project and can leverage information from previous projects. A focus of the IPS application is collaborative planning of the ‘accomplishment criteria’ for level 3 in an events-based program.
