The Zigbee Alliance, an organization of hundreds of companies creating, maintaining, and delivering open, global standards for the Internet of Things, and the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance, the global industry organization for DALI lighting control, announced they are working together to bring further standardization and system interoperability to the IoT luminaires space.

This development will help stakeholders realize the benefits of combining wired DALI lighting-control systems with wireless Zigbee networks as the IoT progresses.

"Our liaison agreement with the Zigbee Alliance is part of DiiA's commitment to address different options for combining wireless communication links with DALI lighting control," said Paul Drosihn, DiiA General Manager.

"Developing specifications and testing requirements for gateways between Zigbee ecosystems and wired DALI networks will ensure interoperability that's backed by certification."

"The intersection of wired and wireless is where industry can work better together during this IoT transition to benefit those invested in both technology camps, as well as consumers, as they embrace connected devices," said Tobin Richardson, President and CEO, Zigbee Alliance.
