Los Angeles/New York | Apple, Alphabet's Google and Amazon – three of the biggest smart-home and voice-assistant providers – are joining forces to make internet-connected homes easier to set up and safer to use.
The rivals announced on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) that they are working with Zigbee Alliance, a foundation that promotes standards for the Internet of Things, and its members including Samsung, Somfy and IKEA, on a new standard that will ensure their products work with one another.
