A proprietary open architecture called Lon Works this is the part where I have not had any luck finding definitive info. The product is called LonWorks, the "architecture/protocol/whatever" is ANSI standard (submitted by ELON). my question is : how much proprietary control does ELON have, now that its ANSI standard ?

The only problem with this in terms of G&K is that such monitoring is already possible and being done in a variety of ways, including with Lonworks. The monitoring at remote manned and unmanned sites at gas stations, well sites, telecom structures, campus sites, supermarkets, etc is done already with a variety of device level protocols at the site and ethernet/internet/phone/radio/modems back to central offices. Lonworks is one way and the iLon 1000 (when it starts shipping) aids Lonworks in Ethernet connection. Also, again realize that Lonworks is an ANSI standard as is BACnet and other protocols. I am not saying that ELON can't be a gorilla, just trying to shed a little reality on the tremendous PR that has been coming out about ELON lately.
