Glossary
| Term | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi device | A smart device that uses a Wi-Fi module to connect to a router and interact with apps and the cloud. |
| Wi-Fi Easy Connect | Also known as the EZ mode. How it works:
|
| AP pairing | Also known as the AP mode. A mobile phone acts as a station (STA) and connects to the AP of a smart device. Then, both devices establish a socket connection to exchange data through a designated port. |
| Wired device | A device that connects to a router through an Ethernet cable, for example, a wired Zigbee gateway and a wired camera. |
| Sub-device | A device that interacts with the app and the cloud through a gateway, for example, a Zigbee sub-device. |
| Zigbee | Zigbee is a short-range, simple, low-power, low-data-rate, cost-efficient, and two-way wireless communication technology. It applies to short-range, low-power, and low-rate data transfer between various electronic devices, periodic data transfer, intermittent data transfer, and data transfer at a longer interval. |
| Zigbee gateway | The device that integrates the Zigbee coordinator and Wi-Fi features. It is used for Zigbee networking and data storage. |
| Zigbee sub-device | A router or an end device on a Zigbee network. Each Zigbee sub-device forwards data, or responds to control commands. |
