What is Zigbee and what does it mean?

A network standard like Zigbee enables smart products to talk to each other. The TRÅDFRI gateway is the technology behind Zigbee that enables you to manage your smart products from IKEA with our app and remote controls.

The Zigbee protocol has been around for some years and is a well-known standard used by smart products.
