In keeping with my home sweet home theme tonight I present my Central Home Node’s (CHN). These were written specifically for 5th so please let me know if you see something that doesn't make sense.
Central Home Node’s (CHN)
The Central Home Node is the digital heart of every apartment, house and condo in 2070. It acts as a personal assistant, butler and security system for the digital age. They control and protect the wireless devices in your home, monitor the property and in some cases take care of the elderly or children when business calls. CHNs create PANs in the same way that comlinks and cyberdecks do; in fact that is their main function. These are just base systems and many people add more sensors and gadgets or upload additional software.
