The ZigBee Alliance issued the ZigBee Home Automation (HA) public application profile, which is designed to help introduce new wireless home automation applications.

HA is touted as offering manufacturers an approach to making devices easy to install and operate for the new construction, do-it-yourself and retrofit markets, according to the ZigBee Alliance.

HA provides standard interfaces for the control of lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), power outlets, motorization, security, audio/video and other devices.

The alliance also issued the ZigBee Cluster Library (ZCL) that is designed to provide engineers with building blocks for applications with common needs, reducing development effort and permitting implementations tailored to their applications, said the ZigBee Alliance.
