Problems in Current Home Automation Systems
1. Home control systems are too complicated and/or cumbersome
– High learning curve products made to engineers by engineers
– Small displays and buttons
– Bad documentation
2. Too many communication technologies
– Zwave, X-10, LonWorks, CEBus, ZigBee, M-bus, BACnet, I-wire, KNX, Bluetooth, etc.
– No interoperability between technologies
3. Too many brains to control single house
– How many different control nodes one needs or can learn to use
4. One-size-fits-all solution
– Home owner must pay for features that he is not going to use
– Very expensive solution
5. Too many industry consortiums to define the semantics
– UPnP, IGRS, DLNA, SPIA, Home Gateway Initiative, NMRP, etc.
6. No inexpensive solution to add intelligence to devices
– BOM is critical when targeting mass market
Solution = New Ecosystem
