If you're building a smart home, Zigbee is one of those terms you'll keep running into — and for good reason.
In this video, I break down exactly what Zigbee is, how it works, and why it's become a go-to protocol for smart home enthusiasts. You'll learn about mesh networking (the secret sauce that makes Zigbee so reliable), why your batteries will thank you, and how it plays nicely with your Wi-Fi instead of competing with it.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to level up your automation game, understanding Zigbee is essential.
In this video:
- What Zigbee actually is and how it communicates
- How mesh networks make your smart home more reliable
- Why Zigbee beats Wi-Fi for many smart devices
- What you need to get started (hubs, dongles, and device options)
