ZigBee vs Wi-Fi: Which will meet your smart home needs better?
For integrating a connected home, Wi-Fi is seen as a ubiquitous choice. It’s good to have them with a secure Wi-Fi pairing. That can easily go with your existing home router and you don’t have to buy a separate smart hub to add the devices in. But Wi-Fi also has its limitations. The devices that run solely on Wi-Fi need frequent charging. Think of laptops, smartphones, and even smart speakers. Besides, they aren’t capable of self-discovery and you have to manually enter the password for each ...Read more -
What is ZigBee Green Power?
Green Power is a lower Power solution from the ZigBee Alliance. The specification is contained in the ZigBee3.0 standard specification and is ideal for devices that require battery-free or very low Power usage. A basic GreenPower network consists of the following three device types: Green Power Device(GPD) A Z3 Proxy or GreenPower Proxy (GPP) A Green Power Sink(GPS) What are they? See following: GPD: low-power devices that collect information (e.g. light switches) and send GreenPower data...Read more -
What is IoT?
1. Defination The Internet of Things (IoT) is the “Internet connecting everything”, which is an extension and expansion of the Internet. It combines various information sensing devices with the network to form a huge network, realizing the interconnection of people, machines and things at any time and anywhere. The Internet of Things is an important part of the new generation of information technology. IT industry is also called paninterconnection, which means connecting th...Read more -

The Important of Ecosystems
(Editor’s Note: This article, excerpts from ZigBee Resource Guide. ) Over the past two years, an interesting trend has become apparent, one that may be critical to the future of ZigBee. The issue of interoperability has moved up to the networking stack. A few years ago, the industry was primarily focused on the networking layer to solve interoperability problems. This thinking was a result of the “one winner” connectivity model. That is, a single protocol could “win” t...Read more -
Next Steps for ZigBee
(Editor’s Note: This article, excerpts from ZigBee Resource Guide. ) Despite daunting competition on the horizon, ZigBee is well positioned for the next phase of low-power IoT connectivity. The preparations of the past year are complete and are critical for the success of the standard. The ZigBee 3.0 standard promises to make interoperability a natural outcome of designing with ZigBee rather than an intentional afterthought, hopefully eliminating a source of criticism of the past. ZigBee 3....Read more -
A Whole New Level of Competition
(Editor’s Note: This article, excerpts from ZigBee Resource Guide. ) The way breed of competition is formidable. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Thread have all set their sights on the low-power IoT. Importantly, these standards have had the benefits of observing what has worked and what hasn’t worked for ZigBee, increasing their chances of success and reducing the time needed to develop a viable solution. Thread wa designed from the ground up to serve the needs of the resoource-constrained IoT ....Read more -
An Inflection Point: The Rise of Low-Value IoT Applications
(Editor’s Note: This article, excerpts from ZigBee Resource Guide. ) The ZigBee Alliance and its membership are positioning the standard to succeed in the next phase of IoT connectivity which will be characterized by new markets, newapplications, increased demand, and increased competition. For much of the past 10 years, ZigBee has enjoyed the position of being the only low-power wireless standard addressing the requirements of the breadth of the IoT. There has been competition, of course, bu...Read more -
A Year of Change for ZigBee-ZigBee 3.0
(Editor’s Note: This article, translated from ZigBee Resource Guide. ) Announced in late 2014, th upcoming ZigBee 3.0 specification should be largely complete by the end of this year. One of the primary goals of ZigBee 3.0 is to improve interoperability and minimize confusion by consolidating the ZigBee applications library, removing redundant profiles and streaming the whole. Over the course of 12 years of standards work, the application library has become one of ZigBee’s most ...Read more -
