I am not familiar with ZigBee technology. And I am bit confused. Does Zigbee need a transmitter and receiver? How is its networking flow?
I was thinking of the notifications that our system have would be send to an application in a PC via ZigBee. That is, drop rate changes of dextrose shows in an application / interface.
ZigBee is built on top of the 802.15.4 standard. It’s a bi-directional protocol… so to participate in a ZigBee network (or any 802.15.4 network) you need a transceiver (transmitter+receiver). There are lots of products on the market, but I’d suggest you take a look at the Digi XBee modules. A lot of the complexity of implementing ZigBee is built into the modules so that you don’t have to worry about it.
The book “Building Wireless Sensor Networks” by O’Reilly is a good start if you go the XBee route.
