HGI and Broadband Forum to discuss Device Template for Smart Home Interoperability

12 March 2014 Two world leading organisations, HGI and Broadband Forum (BBF), will discuss, during a Smart Home Task Force meeting of HGI, recommendations for a universal template which will facilitate interworking between home devices and smart home applications.

The universal template is a component of a logical abstraction layer that is used to provide smart home services to broadband consumers. The aim of the abstraction layer is to allow smart home applications authored by different companies to easily connect to devices using one of several smart home interface technologies. The applications don’t need to know which interface technology is used, but only the device capabilities that are described in the template.
