Hello!

I am working on my project of smart home automation system using XBee S1 and [ESP01](https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/2019/05/introduction-to-esp-01.html), I am facing a problem so I need your help to sort out it. I have home automation system for home safety and security as home’s security now a day is your first priority. I am looking for a way to manage LED lamps of Philip hue wirelessly, I would like to make this with ESP 32 and XBee S1. If someone did this project or someone has any suggestions regarding this kindly assist me. Related tutorials, diagrams , videos and links would be appreciated.

Zoye, the XBee S1 is NOT a Zigbee enabled device. It is an IEEE 802.15.4 device only. You need to be using the XBee S2C or XBee 3 products to connect to a Zigbee enabled Philip hue device over an RF connection.
