Welcome to Hubitat, where we bring innovation and connectivity to your doorstep. Join us on a journey into Zigbee technology, a built-in component of our smart home hubs. Discover how Zigbee seamlessly integrates with Hubitat, empowering your home to use a wide variety of compatible devices for a truly connected lifestyle.
Zigbee, developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (formerly the Zigbee Alliance), is a wireless communication standard revolutionizing smart home automation. Its interoperability, local control, and low power consumption make it an ideal choice for various devices, whether mains-powered or battery-powered, from thermostats and switches to bulbs, plugs, and motion sensors.
The appeal of Zigbee lies in its versatility and efficiency. At Hubitat, we embrace Zigbee because of its compatibility with a wide array of devices, allowing you to create a personalized and efficient smart home experience tailored to your preferences.
Zigbee's mesh networking capabilities provide a robust foundation for reliable device communication. Zigbee routers (sometimes informally called “repeaters”) extend range and improve reliability by allowing devices to communicate through multiple paths. Zigbee routers are pivotal in maintaining a robust network by efficiently routing data, ensuring an interconnected and responsive system.
Zigbee is designed to be low-power. This makes it an ideal choice for both mains-powered and battery-powered devices, ensuring long battery life without frequent battery replacements. This sustainable approach contributes to an uninterrupted smart home and also promotes cost savings.
Zigbee devices for home automation use the same frequency (2.4 GHz) worldwide, unlike Z-Wave. This helps ensure compatibility and availability of devices worldwide.
Hubitat's smart home hubs offer built-in Zigbee support, allowing for easy integration and control of various smart home essentials like switches, bulbs, motion sensors, locks, and more.
ZigBee Technology is designed for simplicity. Set up your Dashboards effortlessly using the web browser interface. Enjoy hassle-free maintenance with automatic updates, making it easy for beginners to dive into smart home technology.
