What is Wireless ZigBee (802.15.4) technology?
ZigBee is a wireless technology defined by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This standard uses the 2.4 GHz range for RF transmission and is well suited to the exchange of small packets of information between devices in a mesh network. Control4 is the first home automation company to use ZigBee to send commands from controllers to other devices in the home automation network. Note each device in this network re-transmits commands as received thus providing a robust communications mesh to ensure the commands reach the intended destination device. Response to commands is near instantaneous and highly reliable due to the wireless transmission within the mesh network of devices.
