1 The Convergence of Home Networking & Automation Vijay Dhingra Director of Product Management Echelon Corporation

2 Consumer Requirements Consumers who buy devices expect them to be seamlessly integrated into their data/automation network  Easy to configure and register  Seamless integration between IP and non-IP networks  Secure and reliable communications  Intuitive controls

3 Seamless Integration of Automation Devices Automatic device discovery, self- configuration, unobtrusive networking – just like other UPnP™ enabled devices  Devices dynamically join a network, convey their capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices A wide selection of automation devices from multiple manufacturers from which to choose

4 Why Is a Bridge Needed? Expensive and infeasible to implement UPnP™ stack in all home automation devices  Motion sensors, lights, switches, etc. Need a connection to a pervasive home automation network A bridge connects UPnP™ enabled devices with non-IP home automation devices

5 Network Architectures Two different types of network envisioned  Managed network   For small commercial applications with a service-based model  Self-installed network   For home networking and home automation environment with or without service-based model  Single vendor solution  Multi-vendor solution

6 L ON W ORKS ® to UPnP™ Bridge IP Network L ON W ORKS Network Mobile Devices RF

7 UPnP™ Protocol (Intel SDK) Translation Layer ANSI/CEA-709.1 Network Architecture of the Solution

8 Option 1 - ANSI/CEA-709.1/UPnP™ Bridge Stack Using LNS Pluggable architecture using LNS ® object interface UPnP™ Stack (Intel SDK) Object Translation Layer LNS Database Server Self-installation with Discovery ANSI/CEA-709.1 Software Stack Layers 2 to 6 UPnP ™ Technology L ON W ORKS Functional Blocks

9 Discovery Option 2 – ANSI/CEA-709.1 / UPnP™ Bridge Stack Using OpenLDV Pluggable architecture using OpenLDV™ interface UPnP™ Stack (Intel SDK) Object Translation Layer SS APIDatabase Server OpenLDV ANSI/CEA-709.1 Software Stack Layer 2 to 6 Functional Blocks L ON W ORKS UPnP ™ Technology

10 ANSI/CEA-709.1 to UPnP™ Object Translation Layer Options Single UPnP™ enabled device —“portal” style  Presentation page-based, catch-all-devices UI interface  Bridge as single UPnP device   Discovery (SSDP) is mandatory   Bridge-level control and eventing are optional  Remote UI is the only access point to individual functional blocks Network Address Devices — devices or functional blocks  A collection of UPnP™ enabled devices   Each functional block or ANSI/CEA-709.1 device exposed as a separate UPnP device   Discovery, control, eventing supported with device or functional block object-level granularity  Each functional block can have a remote UI

11 ANSI/CEA-709.1 Network Management and Data Access Options Option 1—LNS based managed network  Standard, complete network management  Includes self-configuration algorithm  Database automatically synchronized to the network  Standard data formatting and localization  Ideal for service provider mass deployments, individual large home networks, and enterprise solutions Option 2—Self-installed network  Includes self-configuration algorithm  Bridge passively learns network configuration and bindings  No active network management: query device identity / type only (not required – can be passive listener)  Ideal for typical home networks
