Was unaware that ATC systems utilized both Bacnet and Lonworks in the same system. How do they communicate to each other. Since they must be on seperate buses.

Also can you expand on what you refrenced as ID nodes.
I've been trying to find out how elon charges a honeywell for it's technology. Is it per system, per component or is it a blanket type fee. No one seems to be sure.

Also heard that Carrier and Trane are coming out with lon compatible units which is surprising to me since they have their own proprietary control systems.

Lonworks vs Bacnet is a good example of two gorilla candidates fighting it out. It would seem to me that at this point with Honeywell, Finland, and Cisco that ELON is in the lead in developing it's value chain and establishing itself as the standard. Remember it's not which one is better, it's the one everyone rallies around.

I do however remain very skeptical about the whole smart house area. It seems every major consumer company is coming out with it's own network. Electrolux, Bosch, Microsoft to name a few. How will different appliances communicate with each other. It will not be practical to have to have all appliances from the same manufacturer. I would feel better if a few major CE companies adopted Lonworks as their standard.
