What communication protocols do you use?

Clipsal (http://www.clipsal.com), a division of Schneider Electric, is into building automation. They have developed an "open standard" protocol called C-Bus (http://www.cbus-enabled.com/default.html).

Why don't you consider adding C-Bus to your list of protocols?

Unfortunately the C-Bus protocol is not an open standard. It is however available to C-Bus Enabled partners. There is a subset of the protocol available as a 'public' document but it is restricted in its features.

There is a C-Bus to xAP protocol convertor and xAP is very much an open standard - and appears in the survey above. One of the benefits of xAP is that it is very simple yet powerful and its also easy to convert other protocols into xAP and hence integrate them into different applications. Most of the leading HA applications now have xAP plugins.

Dusan, you're in luck. Mango supports them all. (Ok, not BACnet LON).

Good Day,

In our company we use:

LonWorks
BACnet (IP and MSTP)

Modbus/RTU
Modbus/TCP

My company (greenHouse Gas and Electric) supports j2mod which also has support for Modbus/UDP (Modbus/TCP packets over UDP), but I don't personally use Modbus/UDP. I mention j2mod because j2mod is being used as the "base" for posting open source Arduino sketches that support Modbus/RTU and eventually Modbus/TCP and/or Modbus/UDP.

I'd like to do more with 1-wire, just haven't had the time.

I'm toying with creating new protocols, but there are intellectual property issues to resolve.
