Smart home devices tend to \u201cspeak to each other,\u201d using different ways\u2014Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Z-Wave. While most of us are familiar with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, ZigBee and Z-Wave remain fairly new inter-device communication technologies for many. In this article, we take a closer look at all the four technologies, comparing and contrasting them. Is one better than the other? It also talks about Matter, another related technology that used to be known as \u201cConnected Home over IP.\u201d After all, this technology supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While ZigBee and WiFi remain the most popular inter-device communication protocols today, the reality is that all the smart home communication protocols have their own benefits and drawbacks. That\u2019s probably why you\u2019ll find some more sophisticated smart homes using all of them at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wonder what WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Z-Wave, or Matter are? If that\u2019s right, below are the summaries of each technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
