This is increasingly difficult in a environments of numerous standards and proprietary solutions with an almost infinite number of combinations. The emergence of innovative solutions and the consumer appetite for these functionalities are creating this new market now. It is crucial for the industry to elegantly solve the challenges faced as to bring to life the full consumer benefits of the (hyper-)connected home.
