– OpenWebNet Protocol
– Protocol is technology-independent
– Supervisor software can connect via Ethernet, RS-232, or USB
– Protocol message extension possible by proposing own RFC
– Message extension examined for adherence to OpenWebNet syntax
– Syntax includes variable length fields separated by * and closed by ##
– Syntax
– Message structure: field1*field2*…*fieldN##
– Admitted characters: numbers and #
– Fields: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, DIMENSION, VALUE
– WHO characterizes the domotic system function
– WHAT characterizes actions or statuses
– Gateway Ethernet
– BTicino’s implementation includes an embedded web server
– Acts as a translator between OpenWebNet messages and SCS bus messages
– Supports control of BUS SCS, KNX, DMX
– Offers authentication via whitelisted IPAs or password exchange
– Default port: 20000 (registered port: 20005)
– Gateway USB or RS-232
– Interface translates OpenWebNet messages to SCS bus messages
– Activates scenario units
– Presented at conferences on electricity distribution and robotics
– Enables interactions between LV customers and the network
– Ontology-powered OSGi Domotic Gateway
– Interaction with SCS Home Automation Bus
– Interaction via specific gateway
– Two types of gateways: Ethernet (Linux-based) and USB/RS-232
– Gateways connect to field bus using standard protocols
– Gateways facilitate communication with SCS home automation bus
– Enables control and monitoring of home automation functions

OpenWebNet is a communications protocol developed by Bticino since 2000.
The OpenWebNet protocol allows a "high-level" interaction between a remote unit and Bus SCS of MyHome domotic system. The latest protocol evolution has been improved to allow interaction with well-known home automation systems like KNX and DMX512-A system, by using appropriate gateways.
The OpenWebNet protocol is disclosed on MyOpen community.
