A method for creating at least one portable environment recipe associated with at least one user and associated with an underlying architecture, whereby the underlying architecture includes an underlying actuator architecture or an underlying sensor architecture is provided. The method may include collecting a plurality of behavior data associated with the underlying architecture and the at least one user, wherein the at least one user is located at a first location. The method may further include analyzing the collected plurality of behavior data. The method may also include identifying at least one behavior pattern based on the analyzed plurality of behavior data. The method may include creating the at least one portable environment recipe based on the identified at least one behavior pattern. The method may also include uploading the created environment recipe to a repository.

Identifying home automation correlated events and creating portable recipes

Services associated with first and second nodes are managed. As part of the management, the first node receives a request to modify the services. A synchronization policy is identified. The synchronization policy requires that modifications attempted on the set of services on the first node also be attempted on the second node. In response to the request, an attempt is made to modify the set of services on the first node. Further, in response to the request and pursuant to the synchronization policy, the second node is caused to attempt to modify the set of services. The synchronization policy is identified as a relaxed synchronization policy. A determination is made that the attempt to modify the set of services on the second node failed. Based on identifying that the synchronization policy is a relaxed synchronization policy, the attempt to modify the set of services on the first node continues.
