    Amazon, Apple, and Google are working together so that your smart home works better

    I love this new smart home project. And all the comments about it. But the big deal here is that IKEA is on board to provide foundational tech advice to ⁦@amazon⁩ , ⁦@Apple⁩ and ⁦@Google⁩ . https://www.theverge.com/...

    Apple, Google, Amazon, Zigbee partner on smart home ( http://zpr.io/tXTbm ) - Zigbee Alliance companies that are already creating products will also contribute. They include, among others, Samsung SmartThings, Schneider Electric, Signify (formerly Philips Lighting), IKEA, NXP S

    I would not have expected Apple in this so early. https://www.apple.com/...

    I am skeptical about these alliances, but let's see. I don't think anything good has come yet (still early) from the Alexa interoperability alliance from a few months ago + the Cortana/Alexa partnership from 2018 has seemingly gone nowhere. https://twitter.com/...

    We've just announced a new Project with @amazon, @Apple, @Google, and other board companies, that aims to simplify development and increase consumer compatibility. Find more info: http://www.zigbeealliance.org/ ... https://twitter.com/...

    there are too many smart home standards, better make another standard to fix that! https://www.theverge.com/...

    A merging of like every standard except Z-Wave, what did the Z-Wave people ever do to be shunned like this https://www.theverge.com/...

    A rare case of Apple headlining an open standards group: https://www.techmeme.com/... Yes Apple's involvement is partly about “security as a fundamental design tenet,” but hard to imagine them doing this—and not just telling vendors what to do—if HomeKit wasn't in a weak position…

    Another one... will probably be useless, like the rest of them https://twitter.com/...

    Interesting! Amazon, Apple, Google, and the Zigbee Alliance have set up a new working group to develop and promote the adoption of a new royalty-free connectivity standard to increase compatibility among smart home products https://www.apple.com/...

    Apple, Google and Amazon formed a rare partnership: Setting standards for smart home products. Everything's fragmented now. This is supposed to help. https://www.cnbc.com/...
