ZigBee Modules, as a separate product, have only been introduced to the market a couple of years, but already they are used world wide, mainly in automation jobs. Yes, if you want automation you will need at least a couple of ZigBee products.

But what are ZigBee Mudules? In a nutshell, ZigBee modules are low powered, very small radio transceivers. These radio transceiver modules are ideally suited to Smart Energy devices as they can be easily configured into a local network of up to 400 nodes per network without interference to each other. They are low powered, efficient at sending small amounts of data (such as a temperature or power reading) and low cost..

ZigBee modules combine radio and microcontroller running networking stack software. These modules can be easily integrated into various devices rendering them wireless networking capability. This is a cost-efficient way for the device manufacturers to gain quick entry into rapidly growing ZigBee market, while avoiding complex programming and designing efforts.

Zigbee modules are usually programmed with AT commands (also see the GSM section below) which makes it easy for a serial console, or a serial device, such as the controller on a robot to control the module.

ZigBee Modules can be used for a wide variety of applications; such as security systems, wireless alarms, building and home automation, entertainment, health and sports equipments and for communication between machines.

ZigBee Modules are already being used by many healthcare facilities to control heating and cooling and to help patients control these features themselves when they need to with a small button pad next to individual beds.

ZigBee Modules for security are mainly used in banks and other similar locations that require serious security measures

ZigBee Modules are also adjustable to suit your specific need. If you don't want the sensors to go off with the smallest movement, you can simply adjust the sensitivity and make them a little less sensitive, or if you need them to detect movement on a wider area, you can adjust them to be very sensitive. This is the beauty with the ZigBee Modules, you are not just purchasing one item, you are actually purchasing at least a dozen with less money than you would pay for a single motion sensor.

ZigBee modules are actually very cheap and you can but them directly online, without needing to leave the comfort of your home. They come with a full service warranty and their full functionality is ensured at all times.
