Family Overview
myServer supports 11 Device Families which provides an easy way to add new capability to your system. Device Families make it easy to add a new device to your system without having to modify the user interface. A Family includes devices that share similar functions. For example Lighting devices are basically On/Off or Dim. Your myServer rule: "turn the garage light ON when the motion sensor is triggered", and the user interface (show the light ON) are fed from the Lighting Device Family. The Lighting Family then knows for this particular light that it is controlled via the ZWave controller (as example). Only the ZWave controller needs to know the details of how to turn that light ON.
You could also have a ZWave, Insteon, or UPB, or a Vantage lighting controller - even all at the same time on the same myServer system. They all work the same. All can then be used from a single, simple App.
Many hardware devices are auto detected by the Device Driver and are automatically assigned a family. Once recognized, your control rules and user interfaces can manage your new hardware.
