Low Voltage Control Systems
There are many control systems for the many low voltage components in modern buildings. As these become more and more controlled by web based "apps", users expect more central control of all the electronics in the building. But the "languages" and even the wireless protocols that each manufacturer uses is not standardized. Delivering on this promise of smart controls is the work of specialized "integrators" until a standardized electronics control protocol exists.
