Abstract
Technologies directed to detecting and controlling different types of ZigBee devices on different ZigBee networks reliably and efficiently. In one method of operating a first device, the method includes detecting first and second Zigbee networks. The method sends a first request to rejoin the first Zigbee network, the first request being encoded with the first network key. While rejoined as part of the first Zigbee network, the method detects a first set of devices part of the first Zigbee network. The method repeats this for a second set of devices part of the second Zigbee network. The method determines, using the device data, a subset of controllable devices located in proximity, and sends a message with the command to each in response to receiving a command. Each message is encoded with a respective network key and a respective link key specified in the device data.
