Alliance. Their breadth of connected solutions allows companies using the
Zigbee protocol in their products to help simplify the smart home experience

Through its expansive ‘Works with Honeywell Home’ API program, the organization offers homeowners more than 4,000 partner connections – and through its network of more than 110,000 professionals they can learn about solutions to help protect property, conserve water, and reduce energy costs.
“As a global leader in the connected home industry, it’s our responsibility to partner with other established companies to help drive standards and value for the intelligent living landscape,” said Scott Harkins, vice president and general manager, Connected Home, Resideo. “We take an open architecture approach, and our involvement in industry standards organizations like the Zigbee Alliance helps set the course for market players and facilities to have stronger compatibility between products and ecosystems to make smart home connections easier for homeowners.”
Resideo’s new air, water, energy, and security solutions and services allow consumers to proactively monitor home systems to prevent appliance failure or dwelling damage. Innovations from Resideo:
- Address the quality of indoor air with whole home monitoring, filtration, and humidification solutions.
