Are these the competitors for ELON in developing the "smart house"? quicken.excite.com Sunbeam Plans 'Smart' Household Gadgets That Talk To Each Other NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Sunbeam Corp. said Friday it will launch a line of "smart" household appliances that talk to each other, including an alarm clock that shuts off the electric blanket and tells the coffee maker when to start brewing. The announcement confirmed a story in The Wall Street Journal. Sunbeam hopes to be a leader in the race among manufacturers to set standards for such gadgets. But Sunbeam, weakened by heavy debt and huge losses over the past two years, faces tough competition from bigger companies, including General Electric Co. (GE, news, msgs) and Sweden's Electrolux AB (ELUX, news, msgs), which are developing their own ways of linking appliances to one another and to the Internet. Meanwhile, Maytag Corp. (MYG, news, msgs) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT, news, msgs) announced Friday that they will join forces to develop home appliances based on universal plug and play technology. Financial terms weren't disclosed. Newton, Iowa-based Maytag said the technology allows appliances to communicate through a network based on open Internet-based standards and protocols.
