@ -73,17 +73,13 @@ The ZHA integration is a hardware-independent Zigbee gateway implementation that
ZHA uses an open-source Python library called [zigpy](https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy), so any coordinator that is compatible with zigpy can be used with ZHA. Review [compatible hardware](#compatible-hardware) recommendations before purchasing Zigbee devices.
### Zigbee terminology

| Term | Definition |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Zigbee network | A mesh-network of devices with low-power digital radios using a low-bandwidth communication protocol |
| Zigbee coordinator | A hardware radio adapter (typically a USB dongle) that plugs directly into the same computer running your Home Assistant installation |
| Zigbee router device | A hardware device that is always mains-powered (AC) such as outlets or fans |
| Zigbee end device | A hardware device that is typically battery-powered (DC) such as remotes or motion sensors |
| Zigbee group | A collection of two or more Zigbee devices of the same type, different from Home Assistant's [Groups](/integrations/group/) |
### Zigbee concepts
- **Zigbee network**: A mesh-network of devices with low-power digital radios using a low-bandwidth communication protocol.
- **Zigbee coordinator**: A hardware radio adapter (typically a USB dongle) that plugs directly into the same computer running your Home Assistant installation.
- **Zigbee router device**: A hardware device that is always mains-powered (AC) such as outlets or fans.
- **Zigbee end device**: A hardware device that is typically battery-powered (DC) such as remotes or motion sensors.
- **Zigbee group**: A collection of two or more Zigbee devices of the same type, different from Home Assistant's [Groups](/integrations/group/).
- A Zigbee network can have **only one** Zigbee coordinator,
- The Zigbee coordinator can have multiple **Zigbee router** or **Zigbee end devices** connected,
