With an installed base of over 100 million devices, Zigbee is a widely used wireless standard for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The Zigbee alliance developed this low-power, IEEE-based IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technology for home automation devices such as thermostats, lighting fixtures, and motion detectors. IoT smart devices using Zigbee technology need to be tested for compliance with interoperability standard.
Why is Zigbee Certification Important?
The Zigbee certification program verifies that every platform and product meets Zigbee requirements and performs as expected.
