ZigBee - Uses

Uses

ZigBee protocols are intended for embedded applications requiring low data rates and low power consumption. The resulting network will use very small amounts of power — individual devices must have a battery life of at least two years to pass ZigBee certification.

Typical application areas include:

  • Home Entertainment and Control — Home automation, smart lighting, advanced temperature control, safety and security, movies and music
  • Wireless sensor networks — Starting with individual sensors like Telosb/Tmote and Iris from Memsic
  • Industrial control
  • Embedded sensing
  • Medical data collection
  • Smoke and intruder warning
  • Building automation
