How does it all work?

Zigbee is a wireless communication protocol aimed at low-power, low-data-rate applications, particularly within the Internet of Things (IoT) first established in 2005.

This translates directly to significantly longer battery life for your sensors, door locks, and other battery-powered smart devices – often lasting months or even years on a single charge.

Zigbee's mesh network allows devices to act as repeaters, extending the system's range. Furthermore, the standard's commitment to interoperability between different manufacturers' devices means you're not locked into a single ecosystem, providing greater flexibility and access to a vast marketplace of compatible devices and features.

Finally, Zigbee operates on a different radio frequency than the often-crowded Wi-Fi bands, leading to less interference and more reliable communication between your smart devices. While Wi-Fi is excellent for tasks requiring high bandwidth like streaming video, Zigbee excels at providing a stable and energy-efficient communication backbone for a multitude of low-power smart home devices.
