Zusammenfassung:A system and method (10) are disclosed for providing an alternate communication path (30) between a central monitoring station (12) and a connected security/control system (14) for a home, office, apartment, business, or other resident or work-related area (16), the system (14) having a control panel (18) and a plurality of connected electronic devices (22 and 24), each device (22, 24) having a signal connection (26) with the control panel (18) to enable the control panel (18) to monitor and/or control each of the electronic devices (22 and 24). The system (10) is configured to automatically detect a failure in a primary communication path (20) between the control panel (18) and the central monitoring station (12) and, in response to such a detected failure, to automatically establish an alternative communication path (30) via one or more of the connected electronic devices (24).
