Zigbee Direct
Zigbee Direct is a new feature of Zigbee that lets users seamlessly interact with their Zigbee networks directly using a smart phone, or other Bluetooth® Low Energy ("LE") device, without needing a hub. DSR supports Zigbee Direct by providing exclusive, portable and production-ready solutions and industry-leading Zigbee expertise at every stage of the product experience. With Zigbee Direct, users can now onboard and control Zigbee devices and networks directly from a Bluetooth® Low Energy device without a need for a hub. Zigbee Direct makes Zigbee devices more accessible to users and other device ecosystems.
