I think Zigbee is what IoT should be. It doesn't access the internet, it doesn't clutter the frequency band like my 30 WiFi IoT devices, it doesn't need to be in range (since other Zigbee devices can relay the messages)... I'm going to buy some Zigbee devices from IKEA just so I can play around with them.

It's a really nice standard, I hope it takes off.

ZigBee sits in the same frequency band as WiFi, so it does actually clutter it.

Edit: oh and it has already taken off as much as it will, the ZigBee alliance is working on a an ipv6 based standard.
