Officially launched at CES 2022, the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA) is a member-driven organization comprised of 15 global brands dedicated to the development and promotion of secure interoperability and energy savings across long-life appliances, HVAC systems and TVs within the connected home ecosystem. HCA’s mission is simple: to provide consumers with more options within a safe, secure and interoperable smart home. Members of HCA include AEG, American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning, Arçelik, Beko, The Electrolux Group, Frigidaire, Haier, GE Appliances, Grundig, LG Electronics, Resideo, Samsung, Trane Residential, and Vestel.
One year after its launch, HCA released the HCA Interface Specification 1.0, establishing an industry standard for Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) interoperability. The HCA Interface Specification 1.0 paves the way for energy-efficient solutions that cover the entire connected home, resulting in real energy and cost savings for the consumer. In 2023 and 2024, HCA member companies will begin sharing their plans for adopting the technology and begin the rollout of HCA-enables products in the market.
This session will provide attendees with an overview of the Home Connectivity Alliance and its vision for a more holistic and interoperable smart home environment. HCA envisions a future where smart home consumers are no longer “locked” into a single manufacturer’s platform but can purchase devices from multiple brands of their choosing.
Delegates will learn about HCA’s vision of a more interoperable connected home and why it is crucial for the IoT industry that consumers have a choice when purchasing long-life appliances, HVAC systems and TVs. Attendees will also learn about HCA’s unique approach to energy management, and how it can reduce the power load on the grid and save consumers money on their energy bills.
