  1. Other 'standards' that were not included within the scope of this study, but may be relevant include: Control and Communications Protocols: Konnex EIB (European counterpart to BACnet); gateways and interoperability: UPnP, Home PnP; various network communication physical media: Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15 and other WiFi series, Home RF (SWAP), Home PNA/HomeRun.
  2. The X10 protocol and system (i.e., owned by X10 Ltd., often distributed by RadioShack, power-line carrier, very low data transfer rate) does not appear here because it is proprietary and has not been developed or published by an SDO.
