Zigbee can now support more types of authenticable devices

Zigbee's momentum as a common Internet of Things language used for communication between interoperable devices has not diminished, except for the batch of 20 certified zigbee compatible platforms ((Core technical components of zigbee products) In addition, we announced that zigbee has now been able to implement interoperability among 35 different device types, including various terminal devices in the field of home and building automation. The device type directly maps to the actual end product, and the interoperability between them is based on a total of 15 authenticated feature sets (cluster)( Function sets are abstract definitions of application data and communication models for specific operations, such as on/off control). In addition, zigbee devices can interoperate in an energy-saving manner compared with other standards. In particular, battery-free products can rely on the energy captured by user interaction to monitor and start any other device in zigbee network due to the adoption of green power technology. Earlier this year, we added another 5 to the 10 feature sets already enabled in 2016, however, our technical working group continues to work hard to ensure that more authenticated function sets and device types will be provided in the first half of 2017, all of which will be integrated into the same zigbee ecosystem composed of interoperable intelligent devices. With the continuous increase in the number of authenticated feature sets and device types required for zigbee product development, we have further enhanced the value of zigbee technology, that is, widely deployed IoT product development solutions, it covers a variety of device types and can interoperate with past and future products. All zigbee certified products not only connect, but also communicate and work seamlessly, because they are between each other, and the same application layer language is used between millions of certified zigbee solutions already deployed in smart homes, buildings and community networks. As you can see, zigbee device types span multiple application scenarios, including lighting, security, energy management, environmental monitoring, HVAC, etc. Support for multiple device types and application function sets ensures interoperability between devices used in various application scenarios in different market segments. Device manufacturers no longer need to choose different wireless technologies according to different application scenarios or target market segments. Zigbee provides a rich resource library of device types and application functions for developers to select and use, supporting various device operations from battery-free devices to normally powered devices. It is estimated that zigbee will have as many as dozens of compatible platform products in 2017 and the near future. Now many module manufacturers and technology outsourcing companies are developing products based on existing platforms. The peak of zigbee certification products is coming. They will witness our commitment not only to work together with zigbee certification products that have been widely deployed in the internet of things around the world, can also work with the next generation of products!
