What is ZigBee Touchlink Commissioning?

Modified on Fri, 02 Jun 2023 at 03:56 PM

ZigBee Touchlink Commissioning is a feature within the ZigBee Light Link (ZLL) and ZigBee 3.0 standards that allows for easy and quick pairing of ZigBee devices, specifically lighting products and their respective controllers or remotes. This feature is designed to simplify the process of adding and configuring new devices to a ZigBee network.

When using ZigBee Touchlink Commissioning, a user can bring a ZigBee controller, such as a remote or a smartphone app, into close proximity to the ZigBee device (e.g., a light bulb or a smart switch) they wish to pair. The controller then sends out a specific command to initiate the Touchlink process. If the device is compatible and supports Touchlink Commissioning, it will respond to the command, and the controller and the device will establish a secure connection, allowing the user to control the device using the remote or app.

This method of commissioning simplifies the user experience by eliminating the need for complex configurations, and it ensures a more streamlined process for setting up and managing ZigBee-based smart lighting systems.
