ZLG Zhiyuan Electronics ZigBee Communication R&D team participated in the Xiaomi Smart Home Suite ZigBee test solution exchange discussion for you to interpret the Xiaomi Smart Home Suite ZigBee solution.
So far, Xiaomi has three main product lines of mobile phones, TVs and routers, and eco-chain products jointly launched with partners include air purifiers, mobile power supplies, and earphones. Today, Xiaomi has released a new product of Xiaomi Smart Home Set.
Xiaomi Smart Home Suite has built-in Xiaomi intelligent module, which adopts Zigbee networking protocol, which includes four kinds of products: multi-function gateway, human body sensor, door and window sensor and wireless switch.

About ZigBee, more widely known as TI's solution, Xiaomi did not adopt, nor did Freez's ZigBee, nor ATMEL. Instead, JN5168, an industrial-grade ZigBee RF chip from NXP, may have a little understanding of ZigBee. In fact, NXP’s RF department was formerly known as Jennic, and Jennic is the world’s number one. The company introduced a 2.4GHz RF solution and supported IEEE802.15.4 companies, from the first generation JN5121 to the present.
With the technology precipitation of ZLG Zhiyuan Electronics in the field of Internet of Things for many years, it is the first large-scale enterprise engaged in R&D and production of ZigBee products in China, and has applied to the NXP series ZigBee solution for many years, and has conducted JN5168 series with Xiaomi Smart Family Set Team. In-depth technical exchange of ZigBee testing, the following detailed interpretation of this program.
First, a strong kernel
JN5168 has a high-performance 32-bit RISC CPU, which has a breakthrough in data processing and ZigBee networking capabilities, and supports multiple wireless protocol stacks, including ZigBee Home AutomaTIon, ZigBee Light Link, and ZigBee Smart Energy. JenNet-IP and RF4CE provide a strong foundation for the Xiaomi multi-function gateway to quickly access the Internet.

Second, very low power consumption
Xiaomi smart home kits range from body sensors, door and window sensors to wireless switches. Both are simple fixed installation methods, battery powered, human sensor battery life requires 2 to 3 years of high challenges, and JN5168 has low sleep power consumption, as low as 100nA, is currently the lowest power ZigBee solution, It must be the best choice.

Third, superior penetration ability
In the choice of the overall solution, we must consider the power consumption problem, but also consider the environment for multiple shelters and multiple barriers in apartments, villas, etc., and the JN5168 has excellent receiving sensitivity and is matured in complex industrial sites for home intelligence. The product is obviously easy.

Fourth, hardware automatic retransmission, automatic frame confirmation
In addition, JN5168 supports hardware automatic retransmission, hardware automatic frame confirmation mechanism, and hardware CCA, which all ensure the successful arrival of data packets and greatly improve the communication efficiency of ZigBee. Moreover, the above parameters of the ZM5168 series module (including all the parameters of ZigBee) can be freely adjusted by the configuration tool, and the ZigBee networking communication can be realized by the configuration of the graphical user interface.

V. Support large-scale networking protocols
Xiaomi smart home kit, although there are only a handful of access devices, but Xiaomi will open the agreement network access interface, the device can join autonomously, can support more nodes, and the node capacity has always been a large variety of ZigBee solutions. Pain points. ZLG Zhiyuan Electronics ZM5168 series ZigBee module equipped with FastZigBee large-scale networking protocol, there are more than 10,000 nodes in the application field, which also proves that JN5168 has a larger node capacity.

HO7RN-F is a type of cable that is commonly used for heavy-duty applications. It is designed to withstand harsh conditions and is often used in industrial settings, construction sites, and outdoor events.
The "H" in HO7RN-F stands for harmonized, meaning it meets international standards for electrical cables. The "O7" refers to the voltage rating of the cable, which is 450/750 volts. The "RN" indicates that the cable is resistant to oils and chemicals, making it suitable for use in environments where these substances may be present. Finally, the "F" stands for flexible, indicating that the cable is easily bendable and can be used in tight spaces.
HO7RN-F cables are typically made of rubber or elastomer insulation, which provides excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and weather conditions. They are also designed to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Overall, HO7RN-F cables are known for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh environments, making them a popular choice for various heavy-duty electrical installations.
