ZIGBEE PROMISES ANOTHER Universal Language for the Internet of Things

摘要

EVERYTHING FROM THERMOSTATS, light bulbs, and smartphones would be able to talk wimlessly wtth each other using a new software language that the makers of ZigBee, the popular wireless standard for linking household devices, revealed last month. The new language, which is called dotdot, is the latest attempt at desegregating Internet of Things devices, which still have trouble talking to devices built by different manufacturers or with different radio technology. The software, or application layer, aims to be a universal language that all devices can understand, whether they use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, or other networks.
