Thread Group Picks Home Monitoring Company as Latest Innovation Enabler Winner

The Thread Group chose Elarm as the latest quarterly winner of its Innovation Enabler Program. The Elarm home monitoring system is based on specialized sensors placed around the home and uses Thread to create a mesh network that’s said to boost resiliency, security and energy efficiency for the battery-powered sensors, Elarm said. Under the program, Elarm will work with the Thread Group as an active contributor with the goal of its system becoming one of the first Thread-certified IoT products. The benefit of Thread is that it provides a standard way for IoT products to communicate, Elarm said.
