Abstract: An automated environment can include multiple controller devices capable of communicating with multiple accessory devices. The controller devices can automatically elect one of their number as a coordinator device for the environment and can automatically perform a new election if an incumbent coordinator becomes unavailable or resigns. The election processes can be transparent to any users. An elected coordinator can perform various operations to facilitate management of the automated environment including routing of communications between controllers and accessories.

Abstract translation: 自动化环境可以包括能够与多个附件设备通信的多个控制器设备。 控制器设备可以自动选择其中一个号码作为环境的协调器设备，并且如果现任协调员变得不可用或辞职，则可以自动执行新的选举。 选举过程对任何用户都是透明的。 选定的协调员可以执行各种操作，以促进自动化环境的管理，包括控制器和附件之间的通信路由。
