Zigbee and IOT devices

NealH — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 15:17:12 GMT

Deploying a commercial installation requiring IOT door access system using Zigbee. The IOT application is not included in Meraki ecosystem yet. Is there any issue prohibiting this installation from functioning? Any best practice suggestions would be appreciated. TY

If the particular Zigbee-based solution is not specifically supported by the infrastructure (in this case Meraki Access Points, presumably) then it basically won't work.

Meraki IoT radios (usually used for Bluetooth) can technicall be repurposed, but this need to be properly developed, which is a pretty involved process, generally involving working with a specific manufacturer and their IoT product(s).

It will need its own seperate Zigbee infrastructure and management platform.

@NealH I would suggest instead of using bluetooth based IOT using a Wifi based IOT system.
