EEBUS is looking to establish standards amid the clutter of the current energy domain. Founded in Europe, the EEBUS association brings together 70 different companies, all of which are linked to the energy market in one way or another. The overarching goal of EEBUS is to provide a common basis upon which the IoT devices of different vendors can be managed and controlled in conjunction with one another. The magic word is interoperability.
More EEBUS
EEBUS covers two aspects: first, there is a protocol – the SHIP (Smart Home IP) protocol. One of the principal objectives is to fulfil the strict security standards required in the energy domain. SHIP complies with the security regulations of the German Federal Office for Information Security.
Second, and arguably more interesting, EEBUS defines a common language with which devices can communicate with each other. Today’s energy market is very fragmented, with many different protocols, data models, and platforms in use. In other words, a standardized means of communication between different devices is highly practical: by speaking a common language, devices can work together in a way that helps optimize their power consumption. The underlying specification that makes this possible is known as SPINE (Smart Premises Interoperable Neutral-message Exchange).
