Abstract

The use of wireless technologies in automation systems offers attractive benefits, but introduces a number of new technological challenges. The paper discusses these aspects for home and building automation applications. Relevant standards are surveyed. A wireless extension to KNX/EIB based on tunnelling over IEEE 802.15.4 is presented. The design emulates the properties of the KNX/EIB wired medium via wireless communication, allowing a seamless extension. Furthermore, it is geared towards zero-configuration and supports the easy integration of protocol security.
