Sure Universal's OCF Smart Home Software to Enable Interoperability CES Demos

Smart home software company Sure Universal will demonstrate at CES interoperability among connected home electronics products compliant with the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) standard, it said Wednesday. Demonstrations will include set-top boxes, gateways, smart TVs and appliances from different brands, it said. Sure’s client software is the first to be certified by OCF and it will enable remote operation of smart home devices, it said. The company plans to show Linux and Android gateways and set-top boxes featuring its technology, and it plans to announce certification of its iOS mobile client. Lack of a universal IoT standard was identified as an obstacle to IoT and smart home adoption, said Sure, saying the OCF standard is supported by more than 300 global tech companies, including Cisco, Electrolux, Intel, LG, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Samsung.
