ZigBee 1.0 includes the ‘Home Controls, Lighting’ (HCL) application profile, which provides basic definitions for simple residential lighting applications.

ZigBee 1.1 will include additional application profiles:

• ‘Home Automation’ (HA) replaces and expands HCL. It relies on ‘ZigBee’ stack profile and defines a set of devices for use in home environments: switches, thermostats, window SHADES, radiators, etc. The corresponding SPECIFICATION is almost complete.
• ‘Commercial Building Automation’ (CBA) targets large building systems and relies on ‘ZigBee Pro’ stack profile. The specification includes device descriptions for lighting and HVAC management, for instance. It should be AVAILABLE by end 2006.
• ‘Industrial Plant Monitoring’ (IPM) includes device definitions for sensors and actuators used in industrial control: temperature, pressure, infrared, etc. The corresponding specification should be complete by end 2006. 
• Other ongoing initiatives cover additional applications within the SCOPE of ZigBee:
• ‘Wireless Sensor Applications’ (WSA) will provide features for decreasing power consumption in router devices and allow them to be in sleeping mode.
• ‘Telecom Applications’ (TA) will address new scenarios around the use of mobile phones in residential or tertiary environments.
• ‘AUTOMATIC Meter Reading’ (AMR) targets metering applications but is today on hold.
