When
the
Zigbee
Alliance
announced
in
December
2019
that it was developing
a
unified standard for the smart home industry,
Connected Home over IP
(
CHIP
), it unsurprisingly sparked a lot of discussion and questions. Can this organization that brings together multiple forces from the global industry really bring a new standard to market? How long will it take? What products will be involved? Can we fulfill the promise of using a connectivity standard to unify the fragmented industry, allowing companies to focus on innovation without having to work hard to "unclog the pipes" to achieve connectivity?
After
8
months, with the participation of more members and technological progress, the project has gained global recognition and support, and the vision is becoming a reality.
The
Zigbee
Alliance will complete the draft technical specification by the end of
2020
as planned
, and continue to work towards
the goal of officially releasing the standard in
2021
.

Silicon Labs
recently held the
Works With
global event
for smart home developers
and invited
Stacey Higginbotham
, a senior technology journalist and IoT expert in the industry,
to host
a roundtable discussion on

The number of active members of the project has grown by an order of magnitude from dozens of companies at the beginning to
145.
The
Zigbee
Alliance also announced that it is pleased to see four companies with global strategic vision - ASSA ABLOY,
Resideo
, STMicroelectronics and Tuya - recently joined
the
Zigbee
Alliance Board of Directors and actively participated in and promoted the project. Under the leadership of these companies, hundreds of product, technology and market experts have formed
more than
30
cross-functional teams to work tirelessly to realize our brand promise: making it simple to connect devices.
Based on their understanding of the project's protocols and structures, these teams continue to optimize and improve the standard's architectural overview.
The
Zigbee
Alliance also recently
released an open source code repository on
Github
(https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip)
, using market-proven technology to quickly iterate on the global standard. The repository reflects the application-first principle followed in the development of technical specifications, and pursues integration with practical applications. Through open source, we hope to share the convenience brought by the project with consumers and manufacturers as soon as possible.
As the technology protocol stack gradually takes shape,
the CHIP
standard
The types of smart home devices that are of initial concern are also determined accordingly, including lighting and electrical
(
such as light bulbs, lamps, controls, plugs and sockets
)
; HVAC control
(
such as thermostats, air conditioning switches
)
; access control
(
such as door locks, garage doors
)
; security equipment
(
such as sensors, detectors, security systems
)
; curtains and curtains; TVs; access points; bridges, etc. More consumer electronics and commercial building application products are also being added later.
The current global epidemic crisis has brought everyone together in unexpected ways, but our enthusiasm and momentum for common goals have not diminished at all. Members from all over the world work diligently online to contribute to the vision of unified standards for the smart home industry. If you are ready, you are welcome to join and build the future of the Internet of Things together.
