Advances in wireless communication
protocols and automation frameworks have made connected, integrated homes and
commercial buildings a reality. This paper will highlight the advantages of wireless
home and commercial building automation mesh technologies Zigbee and Thread.
Design considerations and wireless protocols for connected homes and
buildings
Home and commercial building automation products and ecosystems have very
different requirements to meet customer needs.
Exploring the differences and similarities of Zigbee® and Thread
Zigbee and Thread technologies provide a built-in mesh networking security
and application infrastructure for embedded, low-power and low-cost
devices.
Project CHIP
The Project Connected Home over IP (Project CHIP) is a working group within
the Zigbee Alliance tasked to develop a royalty-free connectivity standard
for home and building automation.
