The Zigbee Alliance announces the Smart Energy Profile version 2 draft 0.7 gets approval from the Smart Energy Working Group letter ballot-- a major milestone in the standard's completion.
This means the 0.7 draft is now implementable and enters its testing phase, where product developers test products conforming to the draft for functionality and interoperability.
The Working Group will also conduct quick recirculation ballots approving technical changes done to integrate comments received during the letter ballot process.
Once complete, Smart Energy 2.0 will provide an IP-based energy management solution running on a number of wired and wrireless communications protocols-- with partners including HomeGrid, HomePlug Powerline Alliance and the Wifi Alliance.
