Suffering from ZigBee Dysfunction? Get ZigBee’s ‘Little Blue Pill’

There’s nothing funny about ZigBee dysfunction (ZD) … unless you’re Card Access, a ZigBee developer that recently launched a cheeky marketing campaign for networks that suffer from:

• Small ZigBee mesh size
• Poor ZigBee responsiveness
• Reduced ZigBee performance

Thankfully, Card Access assures us that ZD is curable: “A variety of treatments can help you permanently eliminate the symptoms, discomfort and embarrassment of ZigBee Dysfunction.”

The company recommends these peripherals to extend a ZigBee mesh up to 300 feet:

• ZigBee Pro Extender
• Wireless Contact Relay External Antenna Version
• Wireless Contact Relay Internal Antennal Version
• Sensor Bridge
• Heavy-Duty Power Controller

Card Access is dispensing ZigBee Extender Tablets – little blue pills that taste suspiciously like M&Ms – at all stops on the nationwide Control4 dealer road show. The two companies have partnered for many years to integrate Card Access’s ZigBee-enabled accessories with Control4’s whole-house control systems.

According to information plastered on the pill bottle, integrators should use the product at the first sign of ZD symptoms:

• Purchase Card Access devices with ZigBee Extender Technology.
• Insert one or more devices into mesh.
• Watch mesh grow and see ZigBee performance immediately perk up.
• Swell with pride and never worry about poor ZigBee performance again.

Card Access assures would-be sufferers that all calls will be handled “professionally, delicately, and with unbending confidentiality.” And, by the way, don't be alarmed if ZigBee signal enhancement lasts longer than four hours.
