I have just rubbed your ****wit nose in the FACT that
zigbee is in fact the protocol that is operating over wifi.


Just to help the discussion along, that sentence is complete gibberish.


You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Zigbee is a low-level protocol used for wireless links.


Yes, it doesn’t have to be over wifi, but is with the Hue switches.

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.


There is nothing else for it to operate over with a Hue system.

In fact if the zigbee receiver is plugged in


It isnt with that switch.

then the higher-level message never sees wifi


Then how does it get from that switch
which isnt wired into anything ?

it goes straight into an ethernet packet.


Thanks for that completely superfluous proof
that you have never had a ****ing clue.
