    The page you've linked is very confusing, but as far as I can tell that's a Zigbee device that the manufacturer (Tensor plc) consistently describes as a "Zig" device. I have no idea why, it's bizarre. - This thesis [1] identifies a product in this family as a Zigbee device. It's on the 80th page (numbered 62). Elsewhere it's referred to as a Zig device. - I can't find anyone else claiming to make Zig devices or any references to a Zig protocol outside of this one manufacturer and their distributors. - The manufacturer makes a lot of weird typos. They variously say these devices operate at 2.4GHz, 2.4MHz, and 2.4Mhz. - There's nothing about a Zig protocol on the Zigbee Wikipedia page.

      Thanks for the research. The point is made, though: You can see how people think Zig is a protocol and Zigbee is a (certainly the primary) vendor. Whether that's true or not!

        For sure but I don't think Andrew Kelley should've let a thing like that stop him from naming the language what he wanted when it isn't true. There's a lot of projects out there and only so many good, short, pronounceable names, so there's only so much accommodating you can do for name collisions with entities that don't exist.

          Yeah, I agree.
