It also specifies an interoperability framework to allow products from multiple manufacturers to work together in order to provide a specific application. It describes a application process that exists above the OSI reference model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) stack, with sufficient detail needed to establish interoperable applications in this domain. It is applicable to: single implementation home electronic system networks, connected devices and applications, multiple implementation home electronic system networks, connected devices and applications, automatically configured devices, manually configured devices and manually configured groups/clusters of devices.
