The market for home automation technologies will facilitate the deployment of smart grid applications such as demand response and advanced metering infrastructure. Demand response, a vital application of smart grid technology that shifts power demand during peak hours, can only be implemented in premises that are networked through a home area network. Advanced metering functionality can be implemented only if the smart meter is connected to home appliances through a home area network. The prospect of Home Area Network (HAN) technologies emerging as an important application for smart grid technologies has been recognized by the HAN protocol groups that are vying to get recognition in global smart grid markets. The recent initiative by appliance majors to develop smart appliances for smart grid applications will also assist the HAN market. The existence of smart grid technologies in major global markets at commercial levels will further facilitate the dissemination of smart grid technologies
