The soft console is paired with a dongle (implementation
of the coordinator) to detect wireless
nodes in range. The dongle reports detected
results to the console for proper icon display. The
console retains system-wide knowledge of bindings
among all the nodes. The console is also charged
with sending binding information via the dongle to
the intended devices. Each receiving site will keep
such information in storage and then act as programmed
accordingly. Meanwhile, in the reverse
direction, the dongle is tasked to collect real-time
statistics of interest such as electricity usage from
each of wireless devices. The collected information
is interpreted and graphed on the console along
with time.
