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 an honest status: where our architecture aligns with a standard, where we support a protocol or capability it defines, and where the platform is designed to support your own conformance.
