Philips	Philips Semiconductors has pioneered a new, low data rate, two-way standard for home automation and data networks known as ZigBee. The standard originates from the Firefly Working Group and is finding widespread acceptance within the industry with a specification providing for up to 254 nodes including one master, managed from a single remote control. Turning lights on, setting the home security system, starting the VCR - all these can be done from anywhere in the home at the touch of a button. Dial-in access via the internet makes home automation even more convenient: on a cold day, users can call home and turn up the heating, close the blinds, switch on the microwave - arriving back from work to a warm house and a cooked meal.
