Per the official homepage:
> The goal of the first specification release will be Wi-Fi, up to and including 802.11ax (aka Wi-Fi 6), that is 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax; Thread over 802.15.4-2006 at 2.4 GHz; and IP implementations for Bluetooth Low Energy, versions 4.1, 4.2, and 5.0 for the network and physical wireless protocols.
> The Project intends to leverage development work and protocols from existing systems such as: Amazon’s Alexa Smart Home, Apple’s HomeKit, Google’s Weave, Zigbee Alliance’s Dotdot data models
Dotdot is basically ZCL over IP (in a way), but comes with a lot of legacy from ZCL.
Thread was my hope for a unified smart home network layer, but it didn't really get the adoption I'd hoped, and from a manufacturer's perspective, it did not include any application-layer messaging.
It looks like the goal is to standardize the application layer messaging (of which Dotdot was an attempt). Maybe call it Dotdot v2, but with better backing.
