Sorry, but the only thing I can offer is that I saw a TV show
(possibly a news segment?) that showed someone who had a hand in
coming up with the schema and his house which was completely wired for
CEBus.

It showed how his entire house was wired on the bus.  His shutters
opened with the sunset; you could see who was at the door from the TV,
the toaster and coffee maker were synced to the alarm clock; the oven
flashed a message on the TV when the roast was done, etc, etc, etc....
