Product Description
by Grayson Evans (Conductor)
CEBus Demystified makes sense of the ANSI/EIA 600 standard - the standard specifically intended to allow stand-alone products in the home to be networked successfully. It provides a complete technical overview of the product protocol including the CAL (common application language) language and HPnP (home plug and play), and how to achieve product interoperability. It is a guide to each part of the standard, making sense of confusing concepts with examples and instruction on how to make your existing and future products CEBus compliant.
