The Thread Group, an industry alliance focused on making Thread the foundation for the internet of things in the home and beyond, has entered into an agreement with the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA), a global not-for-profit industry organization dedicated to the advancement of connected home and intelligent building technologies, to collaborate and share information. CABA’s charter promotes open standards for connectivity in homes and buildings, which dovetails with the Thread Group’s goal to enable IoT interoperability. CABA and the Thread Group can now establish forums and exchange information on connected home and intelligent building issues and plans, and share information on key topics affecting the development and implementation of home and building automation.
