The Information and Communication technologies spread across our life to make easier our everyday tasks and to increase the quality of our existence in every domain realizing the Ubiquitous Computing vision of M. Weiser[1]. However, in the home environment this phenomenon is not so remarkable. Konnex is one of the most important home computing middleware and represents the European domotic standard. Actually, there are many others home computing middlewares available and just wide diffused, but often they are scantily interoperable. In our opinion these facts represent the main obstacle to the domotic market growth.
