Electric locks with Zigbee communication protocol

Zigbee communication protocol

— the smart home standard with mesh topology: the lock as a battery-powered end device communicates through a gateway and a network of repeaters (sockets, lamps, relays), ensuring reliable connectivity even through walls, and the power sources last longer than Wi-Fi locks. In everyday life, this provides a quick local response, automation without the Internet, and flexible compatibility: Zigbee 3.0 unifies profiles, many hubs can "bridge" devices into Google Home/Apple Home, and some into Matter. Compared to Bluetooth, the lock is not limited by the proximity of the smartphone, and compared to Z-Wave, it is easier to buy compatible devices and accessories; however, a hub is required, which needs to be considered. Typical scenarios: remotely unlocking for a guest from the app, night auto-lock with notifications, the "opened — lights on and camera recorded event" link, mass firmware updates, and access logs for security.
