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.
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.
