The Connectivity Standards Alliance (Alliance) announced the release of the Aliro 1.0 specification, a new communication protocol and credential standard designed to revolutionise how users interact with access points in every aspect of their lives.

While the convenience of unlocking a smart home lock often captures public attention, Aliro is built for broader impact, aiming to streamline interoperability across varied access control use cases, including corporate offices, universities, hospitality venues, and single and multi-family residential homes.
