Iphrothokholi ye-Zigbee yenze umthelela omkhulu emkhakheni wobuchwepheshe bekhaya elihlakaniphile. Nokho, iza nakho kokubili izinzuzo kanye nezinkinga.
Enye yezinzuzo ezinkulu ukusetshenziswa kwayo okuphansi kwamandla. Amadivayisi anikwe amandla i-Zigbee angasebenza ngamandla amancane kakhulu, awavumele ukuthi asebenze kumabhethri isikhathi eside. Isibonelo, inzwa ye-Zigbee ingase idinge kuphela ukushintsha amabhethri kanye ngonyaka noma kancane kancane. Lokhu kuzifanelekela kakhulu izinzwa ezihlukahlukene kanye namadivayisi amancane ekhaya elihlakaniphile njengezinzwa zomnyango/amawindi nezinzwa zokushisa ezivame ukubekwa ezindaweni lapho ukunikezwa kwamandla ngentambo kungasebenzi kahle.
Enye iphoyinti lokuhlanganisa ukukala kwayo okuhle kwenethiwekhi. Ingakwazi ukusekela inombolo enkulu yama-node, kuze kufike ku-65,535 kunethiwekhi eyodwa. Lokhu kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukwakha uhlelo lwasekhaya oluhlakaniphile olunamadivayisi amaningi axhumene njengezibani, amaswishi, nezinto zikagesi. Ukuzihlela nokuziphilisa kwenethiwekhi ye-Zigbee nakho kuyamangalisa. Uma i-node yehluleka noma idivaysi entsha yengezwa, inethiwekhi ingazilungisa ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi igcine ukusebenza kwayo.
Mayelana nokuphepha, i-Zigbee isebenzisa ukubethela kwe-AES-128, ihlinzeka ngezinga eliphezulu lokuvikela lokudluliswa kwedatha phakathi kwamadivayisi. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi imiyalo yokulawula nedatha yenzwa kukhaya elihlakaniphile igcinwa ivikelekile ekufinyeleleni okungagunyaziwe.
Kodwa-ke, i-Zigbee nayo inokulinganiselwa okuthile. Ibanga lokudlulisela ledivayisi eyodwa ye-Zigbee lifushane, ngokuvamile lingamamitha ayi-10 - 100. Ezindlini ezinkulu noma ezakhiweni, abaphindayo abengeziwe bangadingeka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukutholakala okugcwele, okungakhuphula izindleko nobunkimbinkimbi bohlelo. Izinga lokudluliswa kwedatha aliphezulu kakhulu, ngokuvamile lingaphansi kuka-250 kbps. Lokhu kukhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwayo ezimeni ezidinga umkhawulokudonsa ophezulu, njengokusakaza ividiyo enencazelo ephezulu noma ukudluliswa kwamafayela amakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, nakuba i-Zigbee yakhelwe ukuthi isebenzisene, empeleni, kusengaba nezinkinga zokuhambisana phakathi kwemishini yabakhiqizi abahlukene. Lokhu kungaholela ebunzimeni ekuhlanganiseni i-ecosystem yasekhaya ehlakaniphile. Ukwengeza, ibhendi yefrikhwensi engu-2.4 GHz eyisebenzisayo igcwele obunye ubuchwepheshe obungenawaya njenge-Wi-Fi ne-Bluetooth, obungabangela ukuphazamiseka futhi kuthinte ukuzinza nokusebenza kwenethiwekhi ye-Zigbee.
