Abstract
High configuration cost hampers the adoption of powerful home automation solutions. Automating the necessary configuration steps will alleviate this problem. The article defines the task of "plug and play" in the context of a distributed control system built from smart sensors and actuators and the network management services involved. It gives an overview of existing approaches and outlines the requirements for a comprehensive plug and play solution as well as work-in-progress toward this goal.
