A method and apparatus are provided to aggregate control of multiple devices. In some methods, a downstream controller can advertise a service group of the downstream controller, can receive a connection request message from a gateway controller that is part of the service group, and responsive to the connection request message, can transmit a connection accept message to the gateway controller to set up a connection channel between the downstream controller and the gateway controller. In some methods, the gateway controller can receive an advertisement message from the downstream controller, can transmit the connection request message to the downstream controller responsive to the advertisement message and when the gateway controller is part of the service group, and can receive the connection accept message from the downstream controller to set up the connection channel between the gateway controller and the downstream controller.

1. A method comprising: a downstream controller of a security system advertising a service group of the downstream controller on a sub-network, the service group including a type of functionality provided by the downstream controller for monitoring a secured area;the downstream controller receiving a connection request message from a first gateway controller that is part of the service group;responsive to the connection request message, the downstream controller transmitting a connection accept message to the first gateway controller to set up a connection channel between the downstream controller and the first gateway controller; andthe downstream controller saving, in an associated memory device, data related to the connection channel or data related to the first gateway controller. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the downstream controller advertising the service group of the downstream controller responsive to receiving a multicast message from the first gateway controller identifying the service group. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the downstream controller receiving a bind request message from the first gateway controller. 4. The method of claim 3 further comprising, responsive to the bind request message, the downstream controller transmitting a bind accept message to the first gateway controller to set up a communication channel between the first gateway controller and the downstream controller. 5. The method of claim 3 further comprising the downstream controller rejecting the bind request message when the downstream controller is bound to a second gateway controller. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: the downstream controller receiving a security handshake request message from the first gateway controller; andresponsive to the security handshake request message, the downstream controller transmitting a security handshake accept message to the first gateway controller to secure the connection channel between the gateway controller and the first downstream controller. 7. A method comprising: a gateway controller of a security system receiving an advertisement message from a downstream controller on a sub-network, the advertisement message advertising a service group of the downstream controller, the service group including a type of functionality provided by the downstream controller for monitoring a secured area;responsive to receiving the advertisement message, the gateway controller transmitting a connection request message to the downstream controller when the gateway controller is part of the service group, the connection request message including data related to identifying characteristics of the gateway controller for storage in an associated memory device of the downstream controller; andthe gateway controller receiving a connection accept message from the downstream controller to set up a connection channel between the gateway controller and the downstream controller. 8. The method of claim 7 further comprising the gateway controller transmitting a multicast message to the downstream controller identifying the service group prior to receiving the advertisement message from the downstream controller. 9. The method of claim 7 further comprising the gateway controller transmitting a bind request message to the downstream controller. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising the gateway controller receiving a bind accept message from the downstream controller to set up a communication channel between the gateway controller and the downstream controller. 11. The method of claim 9 further comprising the gateway controller receiving a bind reject message from the downstream controller. 12. The method of claim 7 further comprising: the gateway controller transmitting a security handshake request message to the downstream controller; andthe gateway controller receiving a security handshake accept message from the downstream controller to secure the connection channel between the gateway controller and the downstream controller. 13. The method of claim 7 further comprising the gateway controller saving, in an associated memory device, data related to identifying characteristics of the downstream controller. 14. The method of claim 7 further comprising, responsive to the advertisement message, the gateway controller authenticating the downstream controller prior to transmitting the connection request message to the downstream controller. 15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the gateway controller registering the downstream controller after authenticating the downstream controller. 16. An apparatus comprising: a transceiver; anda programmable processor,wherein the transceiver receives an advertisement message from a downstream controller on a sub-network, the advertisement message advertising a service group of the downstream controller, the service group including a type of functionality provided by the downstream controller for monitoring a secured area,wherein, responsive to receiving the advertisement message, the programmable processor causes the transceiver to transmit a connection request message to the downstream controller when the programmable processor is part of the service group,wherein the connection request message includes data related to identifying characteristics of the programmable processor for storage in an associated memory device of the downstream controller, andwherein the transceiver receives a connection accept message from the downstream controller to set up a connection channel between the transceiver and the downstream controller. 17. The apparatus as in claim 16 wherein the programmable processor causes the transceiver to transmit a multicast message to the downstream controller identifying the service group prior to the transceiver receiving the advertisement message from the downstream controller. 18. The apparatus as in claim 16 further comprising a memory device for saving data related to identifying characteristics of the downstream controller. 19. The apparatus as in claim 16 wherein, responsive to the advertisement message, the programmable processor authenticates and registers the downstream controller prior to causing the transceiver to transmit the connection request message.
