This document discusses Zigbee home automation and wireless monitoring technologies. It provides an overview of Zigbee including its history, protocols, topology using mesh networks, applications in home automation by integrating sensors. Zigbee allows forming ad-hoc networks for low data rate monitoring applications. It also discusses other wireless technologies like Li-Fi and RFID and their roles. The document describes how a virtual home software can be used to remotely monitor and control lighting, security and HVAC systems using different sensor types.

3. HISTORY
 The name 'Zigbee' refers to the abnormal (zigzagging) movement of honey
bees after their return to beehive
 Zigbee was suggested in 1998 and Standardized in 2003 and Revised in
2006
 Proposed by 'Zigbee Alliance'

4. What Zigbee is?
 Zigbee is based on IEEE 802.15 standards
 Zigbee is a Global wireless sensing and control network. which have been
focusing on simple and Monitoring devices.
 It provides sense and control with Interoperability
 Zigbee protocols are aimed for embedded applications requiring low data
rate and low power consumption

5. What Zigbee does?
 This allows Zigbee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with no centralized
control or high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the devices.
 Zigbee was aimed to develop a so-called wireless personal area network
like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi which are already exists. Like other wireless
networks, it varies by some parameters.
Like,
 Cost
 Data rate
 power consumption and
 Range

6. Zigbee Topology 6
 Zigbee Topology manipulates with the help of ‘Mesh Topology’.
 But why Mesh Topology?
 According to the Mesh Topology, It can clearly Interconnects with 65,000 nodes
 Center node acts as PAN Coordinator while the rest of the nodes/sensors acts as an
Reduced Functional devices / receivers.

7. Some other Wireless Prototypes
 Li-Fi (Light Fidelity)
 How long the storage remains Idle?
 Whether the Transmission is Reliable?
 Whether the data recovery needs a meta data?
 What if my sensor fails?
 What if an Obstruction occurs?

8. Some other wireless Prototypes
 RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification)
 RFID tags are allowed in INDIA but why not RFID chips?
 What American navy is doing with RFID?
 How long it keeps emitting?
 What if any Obstruction occurs?

9. Role in Automation
 By Integrating Mesh topology and Wireless Fidelity with AEC
Microcontroller, we can gain our Automations in various fields such as,
 Building
 Health Care
 Industrial Controls
 PC and Peripherals
 Residential / Lighting Commercials
 Consumer Electronics

10. But How???
 With the help of Application Interface.
 Zigbee Application Interface contains,
 Application layer
 Complain layer
 What is Zigbee Application layer?
 What is Zigbee Complaint layer?

11. “Home - Virtual Home”
 Virtual Home is an Imaginary home. where Monitoring takes place even in the
absence of Human vision
 Virtual Home is a software construct which was developed in C. It aims on
secure and reliable communications
 All devices in the Zigbee networks are incorporated with Zigbee
Microcontroller and AES Co-processor.
 Where it is used to control Lighting , Heating, Cooling and Security.
 Three types of sensors plays a key role for Monitoring purpose just by using our
Smart phones, PC’s and Tabs. Which are,
 Spiro meter (Spirometry)
 Accelerometer
 Gyro meter

12. Non Functional Attributes:
 Security
 Scope
 Reliability
 Open Challenges
 Future Prospects
