1. Zwave：
Zwave是一种协议，用于家庭自动化设备之间的通信。它允许低延迟通信，这对于较小的数据包是可靠的，数据速率速度为100kbit / second或1GHZ。它用于信令和控制，并利用网状拓扑结构，该拓扑结构支持网络中232个节点，其工作频率为908.42Mhz，在不同国家/地区之间存在差异。它使用GFSK高斯频移键控，并设置了控制网络控制器设备并管理Zwave网络，每个逻辑Zwave都具有设备中的网络归属ID和多个节点IDS。
2. Zigbee：
Zigbee是遵循IEEE802.15.4标准协议的设备。在低能耗的无线网络中，数据传输是针对WPAN(无线个人局域网)的多通道控制系统而设计的。该层的标准用法定义了通信增强功能，该增强功能包括身份验证，有效节点，安全加密，数据路由。 PDU(协议数据单元)= 127B用于低功耗，短距离WPAN。
Zwave和ZigBee之间的区别：
| 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 communicaton 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. |
