XZG

Abstract

1. Introduction

XZG Firmware unifies the best innovations from previous Zigbee gateway projects into a single, comprehensive solution. By focusing the community's efforts on enhancing one product, XZG aims to streamline development, thereby improving the capabilities and efficiency of your Zigbee Gateways.

2. Objective

Unifies the best innovations from previous Zigbee gateway projects into a single, comprehensive solution

This project demonstrates how C++, ESP32 can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C++ compiler (g++)
• Target board (e.g. Arduino, ESP32) where applicable
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/xyzroe/XZG.git
cd XZG

1. LSP (e.g. clangd and Neovim) users need to run

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
