The need for an Industry standard protocol that would help bring about a broad range of cost effective products for control and automation of buildings, homes and factories.
That protocol is
available today and it's called:
LonWorks
Networks
Because LonWorks protocol is both a complete and powerful protocol, it is being adopted by many standards organizations in North America and many other countries. There are hundreds of companies today that are offering products based on the LonWorks technology.
LonWorks technology based products are gaining broader acceptance in the Home Control market as the cost of the technology continues to come down resulting from high volumes of products being used in the builing and industrial control markets. As a result, many of the same products being used in the building industry like light controllers, thermostats, smoke detectors, security alarm products, electronic theater and others are finding their way into the home.
