CEA, LonMark Home and Building Automation Standards Earn ANSI Approval
The new standards focus on the interoperability of Internet of Things (IoT) devices
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and LonMark International announced that two of their standards — ANSI/CEA-709.5, Control Networking Protocol Specification Part 5: Implementation-Application-Layer-Guidelines and ANSI/CEA 709.6, Control Networking Protocol Specification Part 6: Application Elements — are now approved American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for home and building automation.
The new standards focus on the interoperability of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and provide a complete model for implementing device-to-device and device-to-application communication interoperability. These standards provide multiple parties — including users, developers, vendors, integrators, and specifiers of open building control systems — a mechanism to develop and deliver a higher level of interoperability using any open control networking communications platform.
