### 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,
