When we think about a home of the future, most of us see thoughts of a home of convenience. We think about a home that will give us a way to help us out in our already hectic lifestyles. There are homes that are already being tested to give families this type of lifestyle. A “smart home” is one of the terms that describe a home of the future. The next wave of the Internet is widely predicted to be the move of homeowners towards the use of Networked Appliances (NA); the fridge that can keep an inventory of your groceries and re-order when necessary or perhaps the alarm clock that can co-ordinate your agenda, the weather and the road conditions to determine the correct time to wake you up. It is obvious that these appliances will need to communicate among themselves so that, for example, the alarm clock can turn on the bedroom lamp, but the mechanism these appliances will use to communicate is far from obvious.
