Zigbee, Digital Illumination Alliances Working on Standards, System Interoperability for Luminaires

The Zigbee Alliance and the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance are working together to bring standardization and system interoperability to the IoT luminaires space, they said Wednesday. The effort will help stakeholders realize benefits of combining wired Digital Addressable Lighting Interface-based control systems with wireless Zigbee networks as the IoT advances. The organizations are collaborating on developing a gateway specification to support a future certification program. “The intersection of wired and wireless is where industry can work better together during this IoT transition to benefit those invested in both technology camps" and consumers, said Zigbee CEO Tobin Richardson.
