John --

Zigbee seems to be the "new" standard in the neverending saga of wireless.

I bought some of these Xstream 2.4ghz oem modules el cheapo and as it turns out, you use the xctu software and a 60 buck development board from digi key. (have you ever used them?)
(X24-009NSI)

I think I can also use this board (XBIB-R) for doing the zigbee modules?

I'll have to sit down one day and get up to date on the latest and greatest in wireless....
has the dust settled? does zigbee look like something that's here to stay?
