The ZigBee® Alliance announced major progress in achieving agreement on a proposal involving the way HTTP and CoAP are used in the draft of the Smart Energy version 2 standard. This agreement means the draft can advance into the next ballot, scheduled to begin on July 11.
During the Alliance’s Member Meeting last week in Wuxi, China, the ZigBee Smart Energy Working Group made significant progress on resolving outstanding comments and also unanimously agreed on a proposal for a technical solution regarding the use of HTTP and CoAP to optimize Smart Energy 2 for different devices. This issue was a key point of disagreement in the previous ballot, and the agreement now represents a significant step forward in finding a broadly supported technology solution.
