In an effort to make it easier for consumer to transition to a smart home setup without having to buy into a proprietary system , Apple , Google , Amazon , and the rest of the Zigbee Allianceannounced todaythey’reforming a novel workings groupthat will ( hopefully ) develop a new connectivity measure allow hardware from all these companies to finally play nicely together .

The Zigbee Alliance is responsible for the down in the mouth - power wireless protocol that allows many chic dwelling house devices to wirelessly communicate with a central hub or each other , and it include such troupe as Signify who make the Philips Hue smart bulbs , Ikea , and Samsung SmartThings . As the impertinent household has suppurate over the past decade there have been several vie standard , but Zigbee has been one of the most prominent and it makes sense for Apple , Google , and Amazon to lastly join in the fun .

The newly formedConnected Home over IP workings groupwill work towards developing a newfangled and coordinated connectivity protocol that will , at least in hypothesis , cater better and smoother operability between fluid devices , voice - activate smart supporter , and the one C of IoT devices contrive to make life at household a little more commodious . The protocol will incorporate technologies already in use by the various companies which the working group trust will help oneself fast get over its maturation , and it will put an extra stress on security which has become one of the biggest concerns with the impudent home these day .
Ideally the new protocol will still spiel prissy with erstwhile computer hardware , as many family are already filled with smart bulbs , convenience , and smart assistants that would be expensive to replace . It will inevitably help oneself deliver a well smart home ecosystem as consumer wo n’t need to choose one system over another in hopes the party behind it will still be in business in five years , and it even has the potential to make novel IoT devices cheap , as all these companies will be able to source the same hardware , and wo n’t have to spend as much on educate the underlie technologies that make it all work .
