Anthother sign that [tag]home-automation[/tag] for the standard home is becomming more and more attention. [tag]Philips[/tag] and [tag]Samsung[/tag] are starting the development of a new Consumer Electronics Association ([tag]CEA[/tag]) standard, [tag]CEA-2014[/tag] ([tag]Web4CE[/tag]).

This new standard specifies UPnP services and a new HTML-based standard called [tag]CE-HTML[/tag] that are aimed at remote user interfaces for consumer devices in UPNP networks.

Web4CE has two main applications:

• it will allow consumers to remotely control applications on other UPnP devices over a UPnP home network.
• it will allow consumers to interact with Internet Services using consumer devices that are connected to the Internet.

The user interaction takes place using just the remote control, the keys or the touch screen of the device containing a CEA-2014 compatible browser, e.g. a Media Adaptor, a TV or a mobile phone.
