    ZigBee was designed for small, low-power devices with minimal bandwidth requirements. The best way to approach the use of AMX ZigBee devices is to treat them as if they were AMX AXLink devices. AXLink devices can only handle a specific amount of data at one time due to bandwidth limitations, and ZigBee devices must be treated in the same way.
