At CEDIA Expo 2000, Panja

(pictured), Microsoft, Lantronix,Premise Systems, Smart America

and others demonstrated their

interoperable products in the UPnP

Pavilion.

05.25.2009 ZigBee is jockeying to

become the standard for home

automation.

Welcome to the club. At least a dozen

promising initiatives before it have tried

and failed.

Here is a brief history:

CEBus

This is where it all started. The

Electronic Industries Alliance (now the

Consumer Electronics Association)

wanted a home-control standard soooo

bad in the 1980s, and spent oodles of

resources to create the ConsumerElectronics Bus (CEBus). Primarily a

powerline-based protocol, the standard

was supposed to be the backbone of

utilities demand side management

(DSM) initiatives. Intellon was the main

technology provider for CEBus but went

on to bigger and better things, namely, broadband over the powerlines

HomePlug.
