Dusun Zigbee Gateway Use Cases

Dusun’s Zigbee Gateway, acting as a bridge connecting Zigbee to the EnOcean ecosystem, pre-installed an EnOcenan binding to receive information from end device and control actuators. It’s designed to make building more energy-efficient and achieve management of energy consumption by wireless technology
As intelligent metering devices grow in popularity, utility providers can benefit from the capabilities of Zigbee gateways, which can forward the information from the smart device to the cloud, and track water and electric use within businesses, apartments, and other households. Property companies can then bill based on the amount of water and electricity used or time of day or reward households and enterprises for conserving resources.
Using Dusun Pi series, consumers can better monitor their energy consumption and cut down on wasteful spending. With the addition of the custom module to the Dusun Pi series running the Home Assistant, any energy monitoring hardware that is compatible with the gateway can be used to collect information. Dusun Pi series is able to collect data from Z-Wave, Zigbee3.0 and Bluetooth end devices and upload it to the cloud. Users can gain valuable insights into their energy consumption and construct robust automation with its help.

Zigbee Gateway FAQs

Zigbee gateway, as its name suggested, is an IoT gateway with Zigbee modules embeded for connecting those devices on a low bandwidth Zigbee network, and then sent data to high bandwidth TCP/IP network. It can also work as a bridge between Zigbee and Wi-Fi devices. Zigbee gateway is widely used in smart home system as home coordinator of Zigbee device network, wirelessly controlling hundreds of Zigbee compatible gadgets like home lighting, and allowing you to control your home anywhere and anytime. Learn more about what is Zigbee gateway here.

Yes, of course. The Zigbee gateway device acts as a translator between Wi-Fi networks and Zigbee network. There is no doubt that Wi-Fi is an ideal whole-home network for media streaming, browsing the web, and other data-heavy activities. But it’s a power-hungry high-bandwidth network. Many smart home product suppliers eschew Wi-Fi-connectivity because it would require their devices to have a long-lasting battery, and that would be costly for both manufacturers and consumers. While Zigbee is quite energy-saving, and enjoys good interoperability. As we mentioned in this article: What is Zigbee, a Zigbee network can be star, mesh and tree topology, whatever requires a coordinator device in charge of forming and managing the Zigbee network. A Zigbee hub gateway is so necessary to let your smart home Zigbee network communicate with the internet, so you can control things remotely with mobile phones. View more on smart home gateway importance here.

Actually, Zigbee hub and Zigbee gateway can be seen as the same thing, because they enjoy the same function. The little difference is that Zigbee hub may emphasize more on software on the gateway device, such as Amazon Echo Plus and Smartthings. While Zigbee gateway is obviously focus on the gateway hardware.  Zigbee gateway device can gather information from smart home sensors and actuators, controls them, and enables the operation of scenarios and automation systems.

There is no absolute standard for the best Zigbee gateway, everyone has its preference. Commonly, the best Zigbee gateway, as a hardware, should have robust performance on RF performance and strong signal penetration. To be compatible with smart home devices using other protocols like Z-wave and Wi-Fi, it would be suggested to have a multi-protocol gateway. On the other hand, Zigbee gateway device better have high custimization in software and applications, so that feature-complete software can be developed to meet customers’ own needs.

After you have a Dusun Zigbee gateway, using the IP from the router to access the gateway, and then enter the MQTT broker’s IP address, port number, user name, and password on the LUCI page for MQTT settings, and set the SSL option to SSL encrypt. In this manner, your preferred MQTT broker has already been connected to the Zigbee gateway. Open the MQTT.fx software and subscribe to the topic ‘t’ where the gateway published the data in order to examine the status. See more details at this guideline: How to connect to MQTT broker with SSL method in Dusun gateway.

The gateway is compatible with equipment designed in accordance with the standard for the Zigbee 3.0 protocol.

It is possible to achieve a transmission distance of 100 meters in open areas, and the indoor transmission distance depends on the specific scene.

The Dusun Zigbee protocol is compatible with a variety of networking configurations. A single Zigbee gateway can support up to 40 device connections if the network is configured as a tree. In the event that a specialized mode of mesh networking is required for a local network, a gateway has the capacity to support up to thousands of devices.

Realizing the functions of local scene linkage and local offline control can be accomplished by utilizing a home assistant gateway from the DSGW-210 series.

Through the use of the Home Assistant app, DSGW-210-HA series gateways are able to carry out local device control and gateway configuration.

Dusun offers two different docking modes for Zigbee gateways:

  • a.providing customers with an MQTT API for bidirectional communication of messages through the platform;
  • b.and b. offering a local gateway configuration page to meet the requirements of the most recent pairing test.

The Zigbee module found in Silicon Labs’ efr32 series is the one that is utilized by Dusun.

The gateway now supports the reporting of Internet of Things data on platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google IoT. Additionally, the gateway can now serve as the foundation for open-source platforms such as OpenHAB, Jeedom, and Home Assistant.

ZigBee 3.0 cannot completely solve the problem of smart home device interoperability, but it can address the issue of application layer protocol unification. Before Zigbee 3.0, Numerous application layer protocols exist for the ZigBee protocol, and each application layer protocol is independent of the others. The primary goal of ZigBee 3.0 is to consolidate this issue. The ZigBee devices connected via various ZigBee 3.0 application layer protocols are harmonized in terms of networking, device discovery, and link joining. ZigBee 3.0 further standardizes the ZigBee protocol and makes networking with ZigBee devices more straightforward.

If the local smart tasks are established before the network interruption, they may be done properly, but the App can not operate the gateway and sub-devices.

Zigbee universal gateway is a concept in the field of smart home. Smart home solution suppliers all dream of establishing an entire smart home solution constituted of “smart module + universal control center + cloud service”, laying out their own ecosystem, and building their own smart home center, which its physical form is Zigbee universal gateway.
