you need to check the modules/SoC specification
Xbee from Digi supports 40 for example
I used Zigbee long back in 2007, not in touch with it now
you can increase no of nodes in the same network via enabling router service
I’ve read that Zigbee can support +60000 nodes per network. but i’m a little bit confused if “node” means something like service or new device.
node is new device
if you keep reading you will get confused
take a module or device start playing(read: working) with it in real
True 😅, thanks @pallavaggarwal 🙏 I’ll take your advice.
_Node_ can be a device that understands Zigbee protocol. In the Zigbee network, we have a _Coordinator, Router, and End device_ configuration. To form a network either STAR or MESH. We must always have at least one ZigBee to be the coordinator. if we take the example of _Digi’s XBee S2C_ then there will be no limit on how many end device/ router nodes can communicate to the central coordinator XBee. But I have seen in real-world projects when the network of devices increases then programming and networking complexity increases which leads to data loss and unstable network.
Thanks @umeshlokhande for the information
node is end devices
well it’s any device that does something
green is links between devices
According to what I read, ZigBee has a 16 Bit short address, So I can connect up to 2^16=65536 different devices (physical device), and each physical device can contain up to 240 “logical” devices (endpoints). 🤔
So technically we can have roughly 15 million “logical” devices on a network.
