Connectivity Standards Alliance: (CSA) the standards organization for the emerging Matter standard and for Zigbee technology in smart-home applications. [e]
Smart home: Refers to home automation devices that have internet access such as voice recognition (smart speakers), lighting, keyless door entry, security cameras, sensors (for temperature, motion, water, etc.), on/off switches, thermostats, streaming devices, smoke detectors, robotic vacuum cleaners, etc; home automation is a broader category that includes any device that can be monitored or controlled via wireless radio signals, not just those having internet access. [e]- Internet of Things: (IoT) Internet-connected devices—“things”—that contain embedded sensors and software and connect to other systems or devices via wifi or low-powered wireless radio. [e]
- Thread (network protocol): an emerging standard for a mesh network protocol developed by a consortium of competing smart home companies, using IP version 6 over an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network (on the 2.4 GHz spectrum) designed for low-power, fast, reliable messaging among IoT devices. [e]
- IEEE 802.15.4: Standard for the radios in the low-data-rate wireless networks for battery-driven devices of smart homes. Multiple physical layers are defined to operate in a variety of geographic regions with a variety of frequency bands. [e]
