VSCP - Very Simple Control Protocol is a free protocol with main focus on building- or home-automation; xAP – Open protocol; X10 – Open standard for communication among electronic devices used for home automation (domotics) Z-Wave - Wireless RF Protocol; Zigbee – Open protocol for Mesh Networks
Some examples of wired protocols commonly used in smart home hubs are: DALI, open standard for network-based lighting control in buildings, well suited for dimming. KNX, older and well-established open standard for network-based control of lighting, sensors, HVAC, etc. in buildings. There is also a wireless extension of KNX called KNX-RF.
These networks provide voice services via VoIP or VoLTE. Some systems are designed for point-to-point line-of-sight communications, once two such nodes get too far apart they can no longer communicate. Other systems are designed to form a wireless mesh network using one of a variety of routing protocols. In a mesh network, when nodes get too ...
The basic ULE wireless network uses a “star network topology”; i.e. there is one main device, called “base”, which controls the network; the “base” is wirelessly connected to “nodes”, which usually are devices with dedicated functions, such as sensors, remote controls, actuators, smart meters, etc.
Z-Wave is a wireless communications protocol used primarily for residential and commercial building automation. It is a mesh network using low-energy radio waves to communicate from device to device, [2] allowing for wireless control of smart home devices, such as smart lights, security systems, thermostats, sensors, smart door locks, and garage door openers.
Thread – low-power mesh protocol designed for battery-powered devices, which Matter uses as one of its supported transport layers; Zigbee and Z-Wave – wireless mesh protocols for home automation, can be used with Matter and a compatible bridge; Amazon Alexa – Amazon's smart assistant and home control system; HomeKit – Apple's smart home ...
Zigbee is an IEEE 802.15.4-based specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area networks with small, low-power digital radios, such as for home automation, medical device data collection, and other low-power low-bandwidth needs, designed for small scale projects which need wireless connection.
The control panel for a building that has elements of automation The T-Com-Haus in Berlin, Germany was designed to demonstrate state-of-the-art home automation. A display at Computex 2008 showing a home automation system and embedded boards. This is a list of home automation topics on Wikipedia.
