How to configure a Zigbee 3.0 mesh network

Use System Design to enable a Zigbee mesh controller and view the status of the Zigbee mesh controller running in a Control4 project.

Note: At this time, only CORE controllers can act as Zigbee 3.0 mesh controllers, and Control4® Lux lighting is the only Zigbee 3.0 device that can join. If you need to migrate a Zigbee Pro mesh to another controller, read How to Migrate a Zigbee Mesh.

2. Click the Zigbee Configuration tab.

3. Click the Edit Zigbee Configuration link.
