The lack of #interoperability and user-friendly #aggregator platforms for smart home appliances causes unnecessary multiplication of apps in our smartphones and makes life rather more difficult than convenient. With my experience in Energy sector and grid operations, #Interoperability as a topic is discussed a lot and very limited solutions have yet come out. The primary issue with Grids has been the lack of #standardization during its initial installation phase, decades ago. But for #smart #gadgets, Connectivity Standards Alliance has already taken the first step by introducing international standard that defines uniform, cross-national framework conditions - #MATTER Communication Standard. The standardization not only lessens our day-to-day hassle but also helps to reduce the environmental burdens through ensuring #energy & #resource efficient smart products. TÜV Rheinland Asia, like always, is supporting and associating with CSA in this noble endeavour. So, get your Smart Home Products #Certified with us.
