Background

In December 18, 2019, Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance announced the collaboration and formation of the working group of Project Connected Home over IP. The goal of the project is to simplify development for smart home products brands and manufacturers, while increasing the compatibility of the products for consumers.[6][7]

The standard is designed to be based on Internet Protocol (IP). It is designed to enable smart home devices, mobile apps, and cloud services to communicate and to define a specific set of IP-based networking technologies for device certification.[8]

The project group is also expected to be joined by board member companies of Zigbee Alliance, including IKEA, Kroger, LEEDARSON, Legrand, MMB Networks, NXP Semiconductors, Resideo, Samsung SmartThings, Schneider Electric, Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), Silicon Labs, Somfy, and Wulian.[9]
