Zigbee

Zigbee is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power, short-range interactions between devices in various applications, including smart homes, industrial automation, and healthcare. Developed to be energy-efficient and cost-effective, Zigbee operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, utilizing small amounts of data at relatively low data rates.

It’s particularly well-suited for connecting devices that require intermittent communication and minimal power consumption, such as sensors, smart thermostats, and lighting control systems. Zigbee’s mesh network topology allows devices to relay data, extending the range and coverage of the network. This makes it a popular choice for creating robust and interconnected IoT ecosystems.
