This article provides answers to some frequently asked questions about the ZigBee Smart module.
What is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a wireless communications protocol used primarily for home automation. It is a mesh network which uses low-energy communication to allowing for wireless control of residential appliances and other devices, such as lighting control, security systems, thermostats, windows, locks, swimming pools and garage door openers. A ZigBee system can be controlled via the Internet from a smart phone, tablet or computer, and locally through a smart speaker, wireless key fob, or wall-mounted panel with a ZigBee gateway or central control device serving as both the hub controller and portal to the outside.
