Abstract
In this paper we propose the integration of a home-automation system and its services (HASS) with an IPTV system and its services (IPTVSS) to enable convergence at the network-technology and user-interface levels. The convergence at the network-technology level was achieved by using the Internet protocol (IP), and therefore both integrated systems have to provide IP connectivity. To enable communication between the HASS and the IP-based services, we have implemented the WebService/Konnex gateway. The IPTVSS are IP based; therefore, an easy convergence at the network-technology level is possible. The convergence at the user-interface level was achieved by a hardware and software user-interface implementation.
