ZigBee Smart Energy is rapidly becoming the de facto standard of choice for smart grid deployments worldwide. It enables wireless communication between utilities and common household devices such as smart thermostats and appliances and improves energy efficiency by allowing consumers to choose interoperable products from different manufacturers giving them the means to manage their energy consumption more precisely using automation and near real-time information.
