More ZigBee Light Link 'golden units'

25 July 2012 News

Ember is the latest manufacturer to board the ZigBee Light Link bandwagon. The company’s ZigBee platform – chips, software and tools – has achieved Golden Unit certification from the ZigBee Alliance for the newly ratified Light Link standard.

ZigBee Light Link is a wireless interoperability standard for consumer LED lighting and control products. It allows consumers to wirelessly gain control over their LED fixtures, light bulbs, timers, remotes and switches. The standard ensures that ZigBee certified products from different vendors will easily connect into a single network, without the need for additional devices to coordinate the network.

The standard will also give consumers the ability to control lighting remotely over the Internet, providing yet another avenue for managing energy use and making their homes greener. In addition, the standard enables lighting manufacturers to target the broader ZigBee home automation market through the capability to integrate with other ZigBee standards.

As one of the first five Golden Units certified by the ZigBee Alliance, Ember’s ZigBee platform, including EM300 series wireless chips, EmberZNet PRO networking software and development tools, will serve as a preferred development platform to build and test future ZigBee Light Link products.
