When looking to network devices in the home, one should look at the Bluetooth wireless technology. The Bluetooth wireless technology was designed to be a cable replacement, but is being pushed to be much more. The Bluetooth wireless technology consists of two base documents and numerous others, including at least one on testing. The primary is the core specification. Within this document of over 1,000 pages are the protocols defined for all layers from the physical interface (i.e. radio interface) to the application level. The secondary is the profile specification. This document with almost 500 pages defines a number of profiles to be used with the core protocols to accomplish a particular application.
