摘要：The present invention relates to a wireless home automation system having acontroller for controlling a broad variety of functions via two ways communication with a
plurality of devices. More specifically, the invention relates to an improved and flexibleway of routing signals from a controller to a device which includes the building of varioustables such as routing tables. The improved and flexible way of routing allows the user toreach any device within the network with a high reliability. According to the invention, aprocessing unit of a controller is adapted to instruct a first device to discover otherdevices within its range by transmitting a signal comprising a device table holding deviceidentifiers of devices controlled by the controller. The devices in the system are adaptedto, upon instruction, perform a discovery of other devices within its range by transmittingdiscovery signals addressed to each device in the device table received from thecontroller. The devices save the identifiers of the device which acknowledges thereception of the discovery signals in a list indicating which devices of the device table itcan reach and which it can not reach. The controller can at any time collect the saved listfrom a device to build a routing table.
