Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance to develop connectivity standard
10 years in the trenches here.<p>Apple’s smart home protocol famously does not support multiple users. Amazon is choosy on what features you can implement (turn on alarms but not turning them off, locking doors but not unlocking them). Google loves using radio hardware no one else supports. Zigbee has delightful legacy security vulnerabilities and consortium drama.<p>I look forward to these groups putting aside their differences, coming together, and creating a new standard that combines the best of all these anti-patterns.
