ZigBee® Alliance and Energy@home Collaborate on European Platform

摘要

The ZigBee® Alliance and Energy@home will cooperate on the creation of an integrated residential energy services platform for Europe by leveraging four ZigBee standards. Under a liaison agreement, the groups will focus on blending the strengths of ZigBee Home Automation™, ZigBee Smart Energy™, ZigBee Telecom Services™ and ZigBee Gateway™ to create the platform. The platform will offer control of consumer smart appliances, com- munication with broadband networks, and communication with Automatic Meter Management systems. The platform will create value-added services designed to help European consumers better manage energy use in their homes. These energy services will also give Europeans the ability to lead the way in the global energy efficiency challenge.
