Re: [Roll] home-building-requirements section 7.1

HI Michael,

thanks for the encouragement.
Concerning bootstrap and security in general. Many things are going on 
and there are two approaches to this document:
1) a conservative one; restrict to what exists and is is proven to work
2) leaving the doubt that exists today.

For the moment I like to leave the doubt, because in 5 years, what is 
sure today will not be implemented is my conviction

Concerning switching on/off:
That is SDO stuff; KNX , BACnet , etc... are preparing additional 
standards.

What are enrollment tools?

Peter
