Beyond X10, DMX, wireless, and hybrid systems, this system uses an IP-based WiFi system where every light control has an IP address. Simple TCP connections allow sending of messages (on, dim to 20%, etc.) and inquiry as to the status of controls.

Advantages: * bidirectional * more resistant to line noise (intercoms, etc.) than X10 * Leverages existing WiFi technology * Allows large number of individually addressed controls * works with existing wiring (unlike DMX, which requires additional data cable) * with proper proxy/firewall, allows remote control

       This system could also be used for control of low voltage circuits, such as in RVs and solar-powered cabins.
