A system for controlling a plurality of power consuming devices is disclosed including a plurality of nodes, a gateway that communicates with the plurality of nodes, and a controller configured to send command signals to the nodes via the gateway. The controller associates each node with a region, each region representing a physical area and having a target profile associated therewith. The controller includes a command signal generation unit that determines command signals for a node based on the associated target profile, each node providing control signals to a corresponding power consuming device in response to a command signal received from the controller.

A motor number setting method adopted by an electronic device including an MCU and multiple motors in series connection with a communication port of the MCU. When performing a setting procedure, the MCU obtains a motor amount of the multiple motors, and scans the communication port for obtaining a motor-number of each motor. Next, the MCU determines whether an amount of different motor-numbers equals the motor amount of the multiple motors. If the amount of different motor-numbers differs from the motor amount of the motors, the MCU sends a random numbering command to multiple motors having an identical motor-number so as to make these motors respectively performing a random numbering procedure for generating a new motor-number. Next, the MCU again scans the communication port until determining that the amount of the different motor-numbers equals the motor amount of the motors.
