Self-acting data update, whole system self-check, modular design

Basically anyone who designs a home automation system must take into account reliability, debugging, installation, repair, and maintenance of the system.

Whole System Self-check：We need to protect the reliability of some critical devices such as PIR sensors and data collectors. Cuneatic's whole system self-check function is to ensure that the important components of a home automation system are working properly. It lets you know status of the system and generates false reports when parts work improperly. Emitters, controls, and stations check themselves constantly while monitoring other equipment. A control runs scheduled tasks to check itself and supervise the emitters, and a central station checks itself and monitor the controls. Whole System Self-Check lets you know if the emitters are suffering from low current or invalidity, and the central station will know if the controls do not work. For example, power shortage or invalidity of RF emitters may damage the reliability of the system. Within the pre-set time, your control gives hints whenever RF emitters do not work rightly. If you ignore the hints, the control will notice the central station and repair engineers will go to help you.

Self-acting Data Update: This tech increased the consistence of the system tremendously. It lets data flow between controls and central station to help information stored in different places keeping coherent.
The data stored in station are from various resources - administrator inputs, user inputs, original collection, or calculation. To support more powerful functions and enhance efficiency, one data may be stored in different places and be altered by different ways. To make the HA system run smoothly, we developed self-acting data update algorithm which allows data exchange among components efficiently. For example, the time displayed on your control is always "right" – it is verified every five days by the central station. Users do not need to worry about refreshing various data stored in the station and thousands homes – our system will deal with this task automatically.

Modular Design: Our Home Automation controls adapt modular structure design, with a CPU or CPUs on every sub-board, although a single CPU gets the work done just at a lower price.
First of all, reliability is important, and this becomes more obvious when there's a security or panic signals to handle with. One of the most important things we must take into account when designing security systems is to prevent any possible mistakes. At some critical moments, mistakes may cause quite different results. Thus, it requires us arrange every threading properly and guarantee that important instructions are executed without interruption. The controls must keep an eye on several different aspects to keep the system stable. In our multi-CPU systems, CPUs are assigned with different kinds of job, Input/output process, calculation and logical process, and communication. Not only can multi task structure make us able to dedicate a more powerful and advanced system to the clients, but the reliability of the system is also enhanced to a new level as the inside structure becomes more and more concise.
Meanwhile, adjusting, debugging and upgrading become easier than before. Of cause, the motherboard itself must have all the circuitry onboard to support a multiple-CPU environment, rather than just adding the extra socket or slot and wiring it straight up. Most dual-CPU boards undergo more rigorous testing and debugging since they are more likely to be in mission critical servers where downtime must be held to a bare minimum. As for some other devices, no motherboards have yet been released commercially that support two or more CPUs due to the extra testing of both the CPUs and motherboards.
