Technical 

Protocol and Range ZigBee works with the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol over 2.4 GHz. The radio protocol was developed and ratified back in 2003 specifically for low-cost, battery-powered devices. 

In contrast to WLAN, for example, the ZigBee range is somewhat smaller at 10-100 meters indoors because it consumes less power. This allows battery-powered devices to run longer . However, the smaller range is basically irrelevant. The devices form a so-called mesh network. This means that each node passes on the signal. This makes a range of several 100 meters possible.

Communication via mesh networks  Unlike Bluetooth, ZigBee does not rely on point-to-point communication, but communicates via a mesh network. Here, several devices take on the role of a ZigBee router or ZigBee repeater. They therefore not only send the signals back to the sender, but also repeat and forward them to the other devices in the vicinity.

As a result, mesh networks have a greater range and higher reliability than conventional star networks.


In conclusion, the iHelios Zigbee Gateway is a cutting-edge solution that empowers homeowners to create a smarter, more efficient living environment. With its advanced features, seamless integration, and user-friendly interface, this device is at the forefront of the smart home revolution.
