Zigbee is wireless communication technology and IEEE 802.15.4 standards for data communication. There are zigbee standards provides network security and application sup port services operating on top of the IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control and physical layer wireless standards and it employs a group of technologies to enable scalable, self - organizations,self - healing networks that can mange various data traffic pattern s. The Zigbee is low - cost, low - power consumption, wireless mesh networking standards and It is designed around low power consumption allowing batteries to essentially last forever. Zigbee is use for monitoring and control applications. This paper presents a zigbee device types, its traffic varities, stucture and use in home automation and the lighting control application
