It is talking about moving the application layer onto Ethernet .
even the video talks about embedding in tcpip
as I stated solaredge does the original requested question if controlling devices based on solar production but only in EU market now.
standard zigbee smart home devices can be controlled by ifttt as well and some meters can get solar production into ifttt
other option ( though a very poor one) is flex power which hopes to do it in the future.
none of these solutions luckily require zigbee on WiFi ...Last edited by ButchDeal; 01-22-2018, 10:03 AM.OutBack FP1 w/ CS6P-250P http://bit.ly/1Sg5VNHComment

I would probably summarize by saying it is a major expansion and joining of the early multitude of energy management standards. As part of joining there was a lot of expansion in the application layer capabilities, as well as making it compatible with different physical layers. This new standard will allow people to just use their home Ethernet network to manage some devices, as well as still manage traditional non Ethernet devices via a gateway such as ZigBee physical layer devices. The new standard is based on industry standards such as HTTP, XML and uses internet based security protocols. The previous requirements that were physical layer have been removed to allow interoperability.Comment

Derailing my own thread
For those that are familiar with ZigBee (yes real ZigBee now), how do they get away with the mesh networking without causing frequency saturation? Do they have more channels than Wi-Fi, less bandwidth, or just scale their output power better? I was just mulling over the question of why every Wi-Fi device didn't act as a mess like ZigBee and the chaos that would cause with conflicts in the 802.11 world.Comment
