Abstract
We will provide a gateway with improved convenience. [Solution] The system comprises a first communication unit that sends and receives information with multiple types of devices within the building, a second communication unit that sends and receives information with a server device, a sensor management unit that receives sensor information from the first communication unit, and a device operation management unit that controls at least one device based on the sensor information received by the sensor management unit. The sensor management unit has the function of a sensor network system that can output the received sensor information to both the server device and the device operation management unit. The device operation management unit is a gateway that, without receiving commands from the server device, determines whether or not to execute device control based on the sensor information obtained from the sensor management unit, and if it determines to execute device control, determines whether or not predetermined conditions are met based on the sensor information, and if the predetermined conditions are met, executes the operation of the device associated with the predetermined conditions.
