Abstract
This article discusses popular control networks in the area of home and building automation (LonWorks, EIB, BACnet). The comparison includes technical aspects (platforms, security, network management, etc.) and general conditions for development (tools, starter kits, costs, licence policies, etc,). Finally, we identify possible drawbacks and "white spots" on the way to totally integrated and networked buildings.
