San Ramon, Calif. – March 3, 2010 – The ZigBee® Alliance, a global ecosystem of 
companies creating wireless solutions for use in energy management, residential, 
commercial and consumer electronics applications, today announced two of its popular 
standards, ZigBee Home Automation™ and ZigBee Remote Control™, are now available 
for public download.

Since 2005, ZigBee standards have been downloaded more than 100,000 times, 
demonstrating a strong public interest in utilizing the Alliance’s open-source standards 
and developing applications that provide new ways to control for businesses and 
consumers. Public availability of the ZigBee profiles helps drive the proliferation of ZigBee 
worldwide, signifying the true open and global nature of the Alliance’s work.

The enhanced ZigBee Home Automation public application profile, announced in 
August 2009, features expanded security and device support. The standard offers control 
for home appliances, lighting, environment, energy use, and security. It defines control of 
HVAC systems, power outlets, motorized devices, doorbells, mechanized window shades, 
security and other devices. Products using ZigBee Home Automation are ideal for new 
construction, do-it-yourself and retrofit markets. The download and full list of features are 
available by visiting www.zigbee.org/homeautomation.

Announced in December 2009, the ZigBee Remote Control public application profile 
frees consumers from pointing remotes at devices, offers flexible control from nearby 
rooms, enables unique two-way communications between the remote and device, plus 
delivers improved remote battery life for a variety of consumer electronic (CE) devices like 
HDTV, home theater equipment, set-top boxes and other audio equipment. The download 
and full list of features are available by visiting http://www.zigbee.org/remotecontrol.

“These two ZigBee standards for the home offer a variety of benefits for CE product 
manufacturers and consumers,” said Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance. “ZigBee 
gives product manufacturers new ways to innovate and differentiate. As a leader in the 
home space, our standards provide consumers with more ways to control a smart home
than ever before.”

Today, 28 products from a variety of ZigBee Home Automation categories have been 
certified by the Alliance and wear the ZigBee Certified product logo. The categories include 
buttons, deadbolts, dimmers, electrical switches, gateways, key fobs, meter relays,
