LonTalk is a networking protocol. Originally developed by Echelon Corporation for networking devices over media such as twisted pair, powerlines, fiber optics, and RF. It is popular for the automation of various functions in industrial control, home automation, transportation, and buildings systems such as lighting and HVAC (such as in intelligent buildings), the protocol has now been adopted as an open international control networking standard in the ISO/IEC 14908[1] family of standards.
