The project is built around a shared belief that smart home devices should be secure, reliable, and seamless to use. By building upon Internet Protocol (IP), the project aims to enable communication across smart home devices, mobile apps, and cloud services and to define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.<\/p>\n<p>The industry working group will take an open-source approach for the development and implementation of a new, unified connectivity protocol. The project intends to use contributions from market-tested smart home technologies from Amazon, Apple, Google, Zigbee Alliance, and others.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connectedhomeip.com\">Project Connected Home over IP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"project-connected-home-over-ip-update-2019-12-23\">Update (2019-12-23): <a href=\"https:\/\/bzamayo.com\/connected-home-alliance\">Benjamin Mayo<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/bzamayo.com\/connected-home-alliance\">\n<p>Like everyone else, I was sceptical the moment the news broke. Why would these companies suddenly want to play happy families, after five years of constructing fiefdoms?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think I&rsquo;ve figured out the motivations. This open protocol commoditises access to appliances and accessories. For manufacturers today, getting their stuff to work (and certified) with proprietary platforms is expensive and time consuming, especially for HomeKit. An open initiative should break down those walls and reduce costs. For Apple, Amazon and Google, they don&rsquo;t base their business on the smart home accessories themselves. Their interest is in the voice assistants, in the intelligence layer, in the hardware and services that manages the accessories. And this doesn&rsquo;t threaten that at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p id=\"project-connected-home-over-ip-update-2020-01-10\">Update (2020-01-10): See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/thetalkshow\/2020\/01\/01\/ep-273\">The Talk Show<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple (via Hacker News): The goal of the Connected Home over IP project is to simplify development for manufacturers and increase compatibility for consumers.
