ISO/IEC 29341-6-13:2008(E) provides an indication about house occupancy status and operational mode. It is commonly used as a mechanism for influencing the state of Devices and/or Control Points depending upon whether people are in the house. The series of ISO/IEC 29341 publications defines an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of intelligent appliances, wireless devices and PCs. It is designed to bring easy to use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces or attached to the Internet.
