1. Zwave :
Zwave 是一种用于家庭自动化设备之间通信的协议。它允许以 100kbit/s 或 1GHZ 的数据速率速度进行较小数据包的低延迟通信。它用于信令和控制，采用网状拓扑，支持网络中的232个节点，工作频率为908.42Mhz，不同国家地区不同。不同国家地区不同。它使用 GFSK 高斯频移键控，控制网络控制器设备设置和管理 Zwave 网络，每个逻辑 Zwave 具有网络家庭 ID 和其中设备的多个节点 IDS。
2. 紫蜂：
Zigbee 是遵循 IEEE802.15.4 标准协议的设备。其中低能耗无线网络中的数据传输是为来自 WPAN(无线个人区域网络)的多通道控制系统而设计的。该层的标准使用该层来定义通信增强，这种增强包括身份验证、有效节点、加密安全，数据路由。 PDU(协议数据单元)=127B 用于低功率、短距离 WPAN。
Zwave 和 ZigBee 的区别：
| Zwave | Zigbee |
|---|---|
| Zwave provides simple system user easily setup by itself. | Zigbee required some power and device can last up to seven year on one set of battery. |
| Zwave communication idel for someone with basic understanding of technology. | Zigbee communication idel for someone with solid understanding of technology. |
| Zwave is more expensive than Zigbee. | Zigbee cheaper than Zwave. |
| Zwave is a protocol for communication between devices used for home automation. | Zigbee is open standard wirless connection. |
| GFSK modulation technology used | BPSK, OQPSK modulation technology used. |
| It transmit 50m distance. | It transmit 100m distance. |
| It uses Sub1G band. | It uses 2.4GHZ band. |
| There is no international standard. | There is a international standard IEEE8.02.15.4. |
