Connected Lighting Alliance taps ZigBee Light Link for residential controls

The alliance comprising top brands in lighting has endorsed the use of the ZigBee Light Link standard to ensure interoperability between connected lighting fixtures and controls in residential applications. The Connected Lighting Alliance has formally selected ZigBee Light Link as the network and protocol of choice for connecting lighting products and controls in homes. The ZigBee standard isn’t specific to LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) but such products are especially amenable to controls, and the endorsement by the alliance should help broaden deployment of connected SSL in residential applications.
