Do ZigBee Devices Work Without Internet?

Yes, Zigbee devices can work without internet connectivity. Zigbee is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power and low-data rate communication between devices. Zigbee devices typically communicate with each other in a mesh network, where each device can act as a router and relay messages between other devices in the network.

This means that Zigbee devices can communicate with each other even if there is no internet connectivity. For example, a Zigbee motion sensor can communicate directly with a Zigbee smart bulb to turn it on or off without the need for internet connectivity.

However, some Zigbee devices may require internet connectivity for certain features, such as remote control or access to cloud services. For example, a Zigbee smart thermostat may require internet connectivity to receive updates, weather information, or to be controlled remotely through a mobile app.

In summary, Zigbee devices can work without internet connectivity for basic functionality, but internet connectivity may be required for some advanced features.
