What is Zigbee?
Zigbee is a low-power, low-data rate, close proximity wireless ad-hoc network. It's commonly used for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, home automation, and industrial control systems due to its energy efficiency and ability to form mesh networks.
What other technologies are related to Zigbee?
Zigbee Competitor Technologies
Z-Wave
Z-Wave is a competing wireless communication protocol for home automation, similar to Zigbee but with a different underlying technology and ecosystem.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a competing wireless technology, often used for audio streaming and device pairing, and has expanded into IoT applications.
Thread
Thread is a competing low-power wireless mesh networking protocol designed for home automation, directly competing with Zigbee.
BLE
Bluetooth Low Energy is a competing wireless technology used for low-power IoT applications.
Matter
Matter is an application layer that runs on top of other networking protocols, like Thread, Wi-Fi and Ethernet. It is designed to promote interoperability across different IoT ecosystems, aiming to displace Zigbee.
LoRa
LoRa is a competing long-range, low-power wireless platform, typically used for wide-area IoT deployments, unlike Zigbee which is for shorter range.
Zwave
Zwave is a competing wireless communication protocol for home automation, similar to Zigbee but with a different underlying technology and ecosystem.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a competing wireless technology, offering higher bandwidth but typically higher power consumption compared to Zigbee.
