Central Management System - CMS
.
The central management system provides the interface and connectivity between the User controls and the connected sub-systems and source components such as the multi-room audio system, home cinema system, video distribution system, lighting system, security system, etc. It acts like the 'gel' of the smart home relaying commands from the User controls to the sub-system/s or indeed between sub- systems. This being instigated on a real or scheduled time basis.
