Zigbee Gateway
Integrate Zigbee wireless devices into the Ilevia system.
Introduction
Zigbee is a low-power wireless communication protocol, suitable for small-scale projects that require wireless connectivity.
Zigbee devices form a mesh network: mains-powered devices repeat the signal and extend coverage, while battery-powered devices consume very little power.
Requirements
A Zigbee coordinator, to which the network devices are associated.
The Zigbee devices to be integrated (sensors, sockets, lamps, push-buttons…).
Configuration in Ilevia Manager
Open the Gateways section and create a new gateway (see Adding and removing a gateway).
Enter a title that identifies the gateway.
Select ZIGBEE from the protocol drop-down menu.
Enable the gateway by selecting Enable.
Specify the Zigbee coordinator connection parameters.
The parameters can be changed at any time; after making changes, save the project and send it to the server.
For an overview of all protocols, see Supported gateways and protocols.
Tips
Place some mains-powered devices in the building: they act as repeaters and make the network more stable.
