What is ZigBee?
• Low Data, Low Power Wireless Protocol
• Made to conduct wireless sensing and control applications • No line of sight concerns
• 100-300 ft range
• Cheaper than Bluetooth
• Supports Multiple Topologies

• Operates in Personal Area Networks (PAN’s) and device-to-device networks
• Connectivity between small packet devices
• Control of lights, switches, thermostats, appliances, etc.

History
• Developement started 1998, when many enginereers realized that WiFi and Bluetooth were going to be unsuitable for many applications • IEEE 802.15.4 standard was completed in May
2003

ZIGBEE ALLIANCE
• Organized as an independent, neutral, nonprofit corporation in 2002
• Open and global
• Anyone can join and participate
• Membership is global

• Activity includes
• Specification creation
• Certification and compliance programs
• Branding, market development, and user education

Extendable networks
– Lighting network can be integrated with and/or be used by other building control solutions

In-Home Patient Monitoring
• Patients receive better care at reduced cost with more freedom and comfort
– Patients can remain in their own home
• Monitors vital statistics and sends via internet
• Doctors can adjust medication levels
– Allows monitoring of elderly family member
• Sense movement or usage patterns in a home
• Turns lights on when they get out of bed
• Notify via mobile phone when anomalies occur
• Wireless panic buttons for falls or other problems
– Can also be used in hospital care
• Patients are allowed greater movement
• Reduced staff to patient
