The emergence of plug-n-play protocols, multimedia and ubiquitous applications is shaping the human habitat into a digital one. The actual plug-n-play device proliferation encourages the development of ubiquitous applications providing the user with a wide set of services to accomplish his everyday tasks. Moreover, the user requires a smooth and transparent interaction with each of his devices and a high quality multimedia experience. However, the digital home is more than ever an heterogeneous and complex environment, devices differ in terms of resources and networking protocols turning the user requirements into an almost impossible task. This paper presents the INSIGHT middleware involving four modules to simplify the digital home complexity. DOXEN provides a cross-device interaction by automatically generating adequate proxies. The DomVision scans the digital home, processes and stores valuable information for management and troubleshooting. The Service Level Checking analyzes the Dom Vision's information to provide a personalized service offer for a specific home. And finally, the Resource Manager guarantees the end-user QoS. We also show, through a real experimentation, the ability of INSIGHT to tackle the digital home's complexity.
