Just to help the discussion along, that sentence is complete gibberish.
Zigbee is a low-level protocol used for wireless links. The high level
information needed to implement the button action is sent as a zigbee
message and the zigbee is decoded and the high level message passed on
to a NIC in the receiver which sends the same message to the LAN
(perhaps, from what you say) but no way at all is *zigbee* operating
over Wifi. In fact if the zigbee receiver is plugged in then the
higher-level message never sees wifi, it goes straight into an ethernet
packet.
