I'd hate to try guessing when the standard will actually be adopted but much of 
it is somewhat usable as it now stands.  From what I've seen most of the 
current debate concerns transport methods.  (For powerline the debate is about 
using spread-spectrum or not.)

That's what CEBus is about. 


I've been running a home automation mailing list for a while now, let me know
