Re: New forum topic - Open Control Your house analogy is well taken and goes a long way to clear up some of the misunderstanding about "open" technology. But the problem I see is that home building is described in sets of established codes and automation isn't. For instance, every lumber manufacturer knows 2X6 dimensional lumber is used in building, every electrical manufacturer knows if they build to UL specs they can sell their products, every plumbing manufacturer builds fixtures that connect to standardized pipe sizes, you start to get the picture. Where are the codes and standards in automation that can allow this type of open technology to work? Isn't this where it all has to start? Alan Brause Reply |
