1. A method of controlling non-light emitting, variable transmission devices comprising:
determining power requirements for controllers coupled to a router, wherein:
the controllers are coupled and configured to provide power to at least one of the non-light emitting, variable transmission devices; and
the router is configured to provide power and control signals to the controllers, wherein each controller is coupled to (1) the router and (2) at least one of the non-light-emitting, variable transmission devices; and
allocating power to the controllers corresponding to the power requirements.
