Smart Technology: What is Zigbee?

With smart technology becoming more and more ingrained into our everyday life, we have all been looking for ways to streamline every part of life. Technology such as smart televisions, smart meters, and even smart heating have all become daily life for so many. But what about smart lighting?

Smart lighting is finally finding its feet in the market, and there are several ways you can improve your home to become more up to date and combine all of your technologies into one easy to use system.

That’s where Zigbee comes in. Zigbee unites all of these products to allow you to use all of your smart home technology in one place, and give you comfort and convenience at every step. But how does it work?

Simply speaking, Zigbee is essentially a wireless protocol that is used to allow light bulbs, sockets, plugs, smart locks, motion sensors, and door sensors to communicate with each other over a ‘PAN’ “Personal area network”

Compatible with Alexa, this system works to unite all of your lighting together to create a personalised setup, add timers, dim and brighten your lights, and if you have RGB LEDs, you can even set them to different colours at the touch of a button on your device.

And we have utilised Zigbee in our ZDM150 dimmer. This smart dimmer allows for smart control of your dimmer switch, but not just to dim your lights. With this dimmer you can adjust brightness, turn lights on and off, set timers, and even pre-set ambiences for different rooms.
