### 4. Functionality

The WZB-SGS920 functions as a wireless end device within a ZigBee network. It continuously monitors the surrounding air for the presence of combustible gases such as LPG and natural gas. When gas concentration exceeds a predefined threshold, the detector triggers both visual (flashing LED) and audible (buzzer) alarms to alert occupants.

Simultaneously, the device transmits an alarm signal via ZigBee to the network coordinator or gateway, enabling remote notifications, automated responses (e.g., shutting off gas valves), or integration with broader home automation systems.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Residential Homes and Apartments: Continuous monitoring of kitchens, basements, and utility rooms for gas leaks.
- Villas and Condominiums: Integration with smart home systems for centralized safety management.
- Hotels and Boarding Houses: Networked safety monitoring across multiple rooms or floors.
- Commercial Buildings and Markets: Early detection of gas leaks in food courts, restaurants, or maintenance areas.
- Industrial Facilities: Supplementary safety monitoring in small-scale gas storage or distribution areas.

Compatibility:
- Compatible with ZigBee coordinators, routers, and gateways from Nietzsche Enterprise and other HA-compliant vendors.
- Works seamlessly with WZB-02485DC, WZB-05ET, WZB-062, and WZB-01USBDC coordinators.
- Can be integrated into ZigBee-based alarm systems, Ethernet converters, or USB dongles for PC-based monitoring.
