    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for controlling mesh network devices are described. The method includes receiving, by an automation device, a first message from a control device, adding, by the automation device, the identifier of the first user device to a priority list of the automation device based on receiving the first message, and controlling, by the automation device, access to operations of the automation device based on the identifier in the priority list after adding the identifier of the first user device. In some cases, the first message includes an identifier of a first user device and an add command.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for secure recovery from full replay protection lists are described. The method includes receiving, at a second device from a first device in a wireless mesh network, a first message indicating that a replay protection list (RPL) of the first device has reached a defined capacity, determining whether the first device is configured with a fixed RPL or a dynamic RPL based on the first message or a provisioning message received before the first message, sending, from the second device, a second message indicating at least one of an increase of a capacity of the RPL or a set of source addresses to be included in or removed from the RPL based on determining whether the first device is configured with the fixed RPL or dynamic RPL, and receiving, from the first device, an indication that the RPL has been updated based on the second message.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may transmit a smart friend request message to a set of nodes in the wireless mesh network. The set of nodes may be associated with a friend feature that may include maintaining one or more element messages intended for the first node when the first node is in a low power state. Each of the one or more element messages intended for the first node may include an element address corresponding to an element at the first node. The smart friend request message may indicate a hierarchy of element addresses to maintain at the second node. The apparatus may operate in the low power state during which the second node maintains the one or more element messages for the first node based at least in part on the hierarchy of element addresses.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for smart sockets in a communication network. A smart socket can be implemented to monitor one or more power quality characteristics of a power supply providing energy to the smart home environment. Smart sockets implemented to monitor power quality characteristics can sense when power fluctuations are present in the power supply, and shut down connected devices to prevent damage. A plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to optimize power utilization when the smart home environment is operating on backup power, during low electricity tariff periods, or when operating on a renewable energy source. The plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to autonomously schedule tasks based on a context of operation of other devices in the smart home environment. The plurality of coordinating smart sockets can be implemented to achieve configurable energy targets for the smart home environment.
