Since its inception, the ZigBee Alliance has worked with a singular
focus: create a much needed global wireless language capable of giving
“voices” to the myriad of everyday devices which surround us as we go
about our daily lives. This focus has been aimed at the little devices,
often overlooked in an IT centric world, such as light switches,
thermostats, electricity meters and more complex sensor devices found
abundantly in the commercial building and industrial automation
worlds.
