A method is provided for controlling a first switch terminal or equivalent of a building occupied by one or more building occupants. A plurality of switch terminal or equivalent parameters are provided relative to the building. A first computer system is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent of the building at a first location of the building. The first computer system runs on at least one platform. A first plurality of sensors is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent and the first computer system. At least a portion of the sensors are used to provide signal data to the first computer system. From the first computer system a command or data output is produced that relates to at least one of: a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system, a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device. Each of an output includes learned data from that is based on a machine intelligence from previous data collected about patterns of a building occupant.
