Zigbee Alliance Updates Green Power Branding for Integration With Zigbee Pro Systems

The Zigbee Alliance updated its branding and certification measures to make it easy to identify Green Power devices that will integrate with a Zigbee system, it said Tuesday. Green Power is a battery-less feature for smart networks in hotels, factories, retail space and office buildings that's said to offer building executives, commercial installers, and integrators a reliable and proven open industry solution based on the Zigbee Pro network specification. It enables wireless devices to be powered using energy-harvesting methods with limited or no batteries, reducing the need for regular battery replacement, it said.
