ControlBird is built around an open, hierarchical data model and the protocols used across industrial automation, building management, and home automation. Below is how the platform relates to the standards most often referenced in procurement. Each entry shows a status: where our architecture aligns with a standard, and where we support a protocol or capability it defines.
