Interoperability has emerged as one of the greatest obstacles inhibiting the growth of connected smart buildings today.

Standards for linking both enterprise and consumer connected devices and systems continue to be an area of concern for developers. And while there may never be one single set of “rules” for developer’s use, OASIS -- the organization behind the MQTT Protocol –is working to make it easier for developers to code with the standards available today.
