Protocol Controllers

The Unify Framework currently includes several protocol controllers.

Each protocol controller interfaces with its radio hardware and implements a translation between its own wireless protocol and the Unified Command Language (UCL), which is defined in the Unify Framework Specification. In addition, these protocol controllers implement best practices regarding message delivery and adherence to regulatory requirements. Protocol-specific implementation details can be found in the user guide for each protocol controller.

• The Z-Wave protocol controller (ZPC) implements the Z-Wave wireless protocol using a Z-Wave NCP.

• The Zigbee protocol controller (ZigPC) implements the ZigBee wireless protocol using a Zigbee NCP.

• The Multiprotocol Host Software (Zigbee, OpenThread, Bluetooth) uses the RCP mode of the wireless SoC to implement Zigbee, OpenThread, and Bluetooth.

• The Matter protocol controller implements the matter protocol.

• The Bluetooth AoX protocol controller (AoXPC) implements Bluetooth AoX functionality.
