ZigBee is the latest wireless technology which provides three
lowest solutions, low data rate, low power consumption and low
cost. One of the ultimate goals of ZigBee is to provide a energy
saving solution.
Low power consumption and power management are important
characteristics of ZigBee. To explore the concept of energy saving,
an integrated ZigBee automation system (ZAS) for lighting
automation and power management is investigated.
In this paper, the details of system design for ZAS are described
including the system overview , deployment as well as the power
management algorithms.
