I wish that the CE industry could standardize
an RF protocol for lighting similar to IR so that any
RF device could be controlled by any RF capable remote.
That's exactly what Z-Wave and Zigbee are trying to accomplish. I know a bit more about Z-Wave so let me speak to that. Any Z-Wave controller can control any Z-Wave device which includes lighting, thermostats, security systems, whole house audio and satellite radio systems, interfaces to all of the leading Home Automation software and more. Logitech, Monster and Universal Electronics have already implemented Z-Wave technology into some of their products.
