UPnP in home automation and the technology trend?
It seems that big companies like Microsoft and Intel are promoting UPnP technology

to standardize networking of various home devices. However, I do not know many products supporting this standard. Especially in this forum, I rarely see people discussing it. To me, its TCP/UDP/IP based protocol stack looks too heavy for many home devices. Is UPnP still a viable technology? In a bigger picture, can someone shed some light on the technology trend of home automation area, for technologies such as X-10, Z-Wave, ZigBee, Lonworks?
Thanks,
