Zigbee is the only complete loT solution — from mesh network to the universal language that allows smart objects to work together. Zigbee increases choice and flexibility for users and developers, and delivers the confidence that products and services will work together through standardization and testing of all layers of the stack.
Zigbee certified products can connect and communicate using the same IoT language with each other, and millions of Zigbee products already deployed in smart homes and buildings. Zigbee is built with backwards & forwards compatibility in mind.
Zigbee is the full-stack solution for a majority of large smart home ecosystem providers, such as Amazon’s Echo Plus, Samsung SmartThings, Signify (Philips Hue) and more.
