Wireless communication is awesome! Right? Only problem is that there are many different methods and techniques which all use different frequencies and sometimes require extra hardware. And while I explored a big selection of wireless methods in a previous video, it is now time to have a closer look at Zigbee. It not only gets used with Smart Home Devices, but also is now features in two ESP32 microcontrollers. So in this video, let's find out how Zigbee works, how we can use it and what advantages/disadvantages it comes with. Let's get started!
