In the dynamic world of smart lighting, Zigbee 3.0 has taken pride of place. But what exactly is Zigbee 3.0 and what makes it so special? In this article, we are going to explore the essence of Zigbee 3.0 and how to get an advanced lighting experience with this technology.

What is Zigbee 3.0?

Let's start at the beginning: what is Zigbee 3.0? Zigbee 3.0 is a wireless communication standard developed specifically for smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). It is an open and globally accepted standard that connects different devices in the home so they can communicate seamlessly with each other. The standard was developed by the Zigbee Alliance, a partnership of leading companies in the technology and lighting industries.

Zigbee 3.0 and smart devices

In essence, Zigbee 3.0 enables various smart devices, including lighting fixtures, sensors, thermostats and security systems, to work together and exchange data. It uses the Zigbee wireless protocol to establish a reliable and secure connection between devices, resulting in an advanced and integrated smart home ecosystem.

The benefits of Zigbee 3.0 in smart lighting

As you have read, with Zigbee 3.0 you can easily let all the smart devices in your home communicate with each other. This includes your smart lighting. We have listed the advantages of using Zigbee 3.0 with your smart LED lighting: 

1. Easy communication with Zigbee 3.0

One of the main advantages of Zigbee 3.0 is that it allows different devices to communicate with each other, also known as interoperability. This means that smart lighting products from different manufacturers that support Zigbee 3.0 can communicate and work together. As an example, our Zigbee 3.0 Gateway is compatible with brands such as Philips Hue, IKEA TRÅDFRI, AMAZON Echo Plus (2nd generation), Echo (4th generation), Echo Studio and Echo show (2nd generation). Ideal, right? This gives you a wide range of choices when selecting lighting fixtures and accessories, without worrying about compatibility issues!

2. Energy efficient

Zigbee 3.0 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Smart lighting fixtures using Zigbee 3.0 can communicate with each other efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption. Moreover, as a user, you adjust your Zigbee 3.0 lighting remotely and easily schedule lighting by time. As a result, your lights are not on unnecessarily and you save energy!

3. Reliability

Thanks to the mesh network of Zigbee 3.0 allows smart lighting fixtures to communicate with each other even when a direct connection to the hub is not possible. If a fixture is out of range of the hub, other fixtures can act as relay points, ensuring a reliable and stable connection.

4. Extended functionality

Zigbee 3.0 offers a wide range of functions and capabilities for smart lighting. When you use these smart lights, you not only adjust the brightness of your lighting, but also the color temperature, create different zones and set different time schedules. With this versatility, you are able to create the ideal atmosphere for any occasion!
