The ZigBee Alliance have finally released the long-awaited gateway specification.
Basically this means that companies can now easily support lots of ZigBee profiles such as Home Automation or Remote Control, through a standardised central gateway platform.
This really should pave the way for the huge roll-out of ZigBee consumer products as the gateway is what ties them all together under a central control plaform.
