The First Practical Guide to Advanced Wireless Development with ZigBee Technologies
Supported by more than a hundred companies, the new ZigBee standard enables powerful new wireless applications for safety, security, and control, ranging from smart energy to home automation and medical care to advanced remote control. ZigBee Wireless Sensor and Control Network brings together all the knowledge professionals need to start building effective ZigBee solutions.
The only simple, concise guide to ZigBee architecture, concepts, networking, and applications, this book thoroughly explains the entire ZigBee protocol stack and covers issues ranging from routing to security. It also presents detailed, practical coverage of ZigBee features for home automation, smart energy networking, and consumer electronics.
Topics include
• Fundamental wireless concepts: OSI Model, error detection, the ISM Band, modulation, WLAN, FHSS, DSSS, Wireless MANs, Bluetooth, and more
• ZigBee essentials: applications, characteristics, device types, topologies, protocol architecture, and expanded ZigBee PRO features
• Physical layer: includes frequency bands, data rate, channels, data/management services, transmitter power, and receiver sensitivity
• MAC layer: data/management services, MAC layer information base, access methods, and frames
• Network layer: data entities, NIB, device configuration, starting network, addressing, discovery, channel scanning, and more
• Application support sublayer and application layer: includes profiles, cluster format, attributes, device discovery, and binding
• ZigBee network security: includes encryption, trust center, security modes, and security management primitives
• Address assignment and routing techniques
• Alternative technologies: 6lowpan, WirelessHART, and Z-wave

Groaker –
I am looking to replace my current X-10 home automation system. To the best of my knowledge, X-10 parts are no longer made, and prices have gone up drastically. Zigbee is not plug and play at this point, and electronics is not my strong point. But I think there is better compatibility between manufacturers of Xbee and Zigbee products (as long as you stay in the same series) than there is with Insteon. So I will probably go with this mesh network. There are a lot of simple project plans available on the net. There are Arduino shields for this technology. My interests are weather, controlling lights where I have power, but standard switches would be problematic (I live in a contemporary log.) I also use X-10 to control a lower level pellet stove based on temperatures in the third level bedroom. I will convert this over to Zigbee, along with other sensors and controls.

I find this book very easy to read and has just the information I am looking for. I would have preferred a later version of ZB for review, but this is adequate.
