Anw what kind of interface would you end up with? At best
it would be some incredibly simplistic list of buttons,
maybe arouned in a series of rooms or something, right?
Any system can query the loads from a device that makes
that information available (and it doesn't require WSD),
but making something useful and attractive to control
those loads isn't going to automagically happen.
The interface would be determined in how the system designer and homeowner chose to configure them on the guis, but just typing in names and associations, just like asigning stuff in lutron homeworks software. The magic is the elimination in the timing writing the code to get the interface and association with everyhting including phantom keypads, and debug and such. I haven't seen a programmer blwon away by getting everything out of a network connection yet. no diagrams, no polling, just did it.
