The Open Connectivity Foundation announced that products from BSC Computer GmbH, COMMAX, Haier, LG Electronics, Resideo, Samsung Electronics and SURE Universal will complete OCF 2.1 certification in 2020, ensuring robust and secure connectivity between devices.

Having all of these powered by mains cables or batteries which need to be regularly changed or re-charged is simply not practical," said Jörg Hofmann, CEO, BSC Computer GmbH. "By introducing the EnOcean energy harvesting wireless standard into the OCF world, BSC Computer has enabled simple addition of multiple 'peel and stick' maintenance-free sensors and switches into their smart buildings via the BSC smart secure gateway, a major expansion and improvement of the excellent interoperable OCF eco-system."
