I believe that there are guidelines about what sorts of signals and
power levels one can couple onto electrical wires, right? So where do
I get my hands on them? Also I have heard of an emerging spec for
home/industrial control type applications, does anybody know anything
about this?
What I am looking for is a sort of 'dishwasher lan' where all devices
have a distinct address, and can respond to control signals with
information about current status. All this would go across the
internal house wiring or low-speed infra-red links. I could then
kludge interfaces onto all of my current stuff(hopefully) and hook it
all to a pc as a controller/gateway system.
