What is ZigBee?

ZigBee is the only standards-based wireless protocol technology that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring and control and sensor network applications. The ZigBee wireless standard enables broad based deployment of wireless networks with low cost, low power solutions providing the ability for devices to run for years on inexpensive batteries in a typical monitoring application.

Hopefully we will see more development of this type of technology in the future with more products available to installers and DIY individuals.
