FAQ FOR SMART+ ZIGBEE PRODUCTS

SMART+ ZIGBEE PRODUCTS

1. GENERAL SMART+ ZIGBEE INFORMATION

Zigbee is a standard for wireless data transfer that works on the 2,4 GHz frequency. It supports mesh networking with many-to-many network communication and is mainly used for smart home applications. Zigbee’s many-to-many network topology enables large-scale communication networks in which connected Zigbee products repeat the Zigbee signal and therefore extend the network reach. With a compatible smart home system that has a built-in Zigbee gateway, you will be able to control your Zigbee products with your smartphone or tablet. Currently there are several different versions of Zigbee on the market, with Zigbee Light Link and Zigbee Home Automation representing the two older versions and Zigbee 3.0 being the newest version of the Zigbee standard.

Zigbee Light Link was originally developed as a profile specifically for light control and was therefore distinguished by its field of use from its Zigbee twin Zigbee Home Automation. Zigbee 3.0 is the newest Zigbee version which is a consolidation of Zigbee Light Link and Zigbee Home Automation. Zigbee 3.0 enables interoperability of devices with different Zigbee versions and a higher security level. This higher security level is ensured by a QR code printed on every SMART+ Zigbee 3.0 product. This QR code can be used for secured pairing with compatible systems that support this Zigbee 3.0 feature. Our SMART+ Zigbee portfolio was historically based on Zigbee Light Link and is now transformed into Zigbee 3.0. All our SMART+ Zigbee 3.0 products are of course backwards compatible to all previous Zigbee versions.

LEDVANCE offers a broad range of SMART+ Zigbee products. These SMART+ Zigbee products can in general be used with compatible smart home systems that are based on the Zigbee standard. However, we recommend using the SMART+ Zigbee products in combination with one of our official partner systems. For our official partner smart home systems see FAQ section 2 (SMART+ and Partners). The SMART+ Zigbee portfolio can easily be recognized by the official Zigbee logo on every SMART+ Zigbee product packaging.

   

1.3.1. HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF MY SMART+ ZIGBEE PRODUCT IS USING ZIGBEE 3.0 OR ZIGBEE LIGHT LINK, EVEN IF I LOST THE PACKAGING?
SMART+ Zigbee 3.0 products are distinguishable from SMART+ Zigbee Light Link products by the QR code on the products itself. If your SMART+ Zigbee product has a QR-code printed on, then it is a Zigbee 3.0 product.

To minimize confusion, please be aware that our SMART+ Bluetooth products, which are not compatible with Zigbee or SMART+ Zigbee products due to the use of different technologies, also have a QR code on them. These SMART+ Bluetooth products can be distinguished from SMART+ Zigbee products by the packaging (Bluetooth label or by the imprint “Works with Apple HomeKit”) and by the additional Bluetooth identification number (eight-digit numeric code) printed on the product.

1.3.2. CAN I UPDATE THE FIRMWARE OF MY SMART+ ZIGBEE PRODUCTS FROM ZIGBEE LIGHT LINK TO ZIGBEE 3.0?

No, it is not possible to update SMART+ Zigbee products from Zigbee Light Link to Zigbee 3.0 or vice versa. This is because different hardware had to be used for the two Zigbee versions, which contributes to an increased security level with the latest Zigbee version Zigbee 3.0. Nevertheless, our SMART+ Zigbee 3.0 products are fully backwards compatible to all previous Zigbee standards.

1.3.3. CAN I CONTROL MY SMART+ ZIGBEE PRODUCTS DIRECTLY AND SOLELY WITH MY SMARTPHONE?

No, beside your smartphone you will need a compatible control unit which is able to communicate on the Zigbee standard to control your SMART+ Zigbee products. This might be a compatible, Zigbee enabled smart home system or a compatible voice assistant with a built-in Zigbee hub. You will have the best user experience by controlling our SMART+ Zigbee products with one of our official partner systems. For more information on our partner smart home systems see FAQ section 2 (SMART+ and Partners).
