Running Linux on every sensor would be excessive. Keeping every sensor connected to Wi-Fi may also cost more energy than the application needs. Zigbee is a good fit for small, infrequent sensor reports and control commands. Put the Zigbee firmware on a low-power microcontroller, and use Linux for storage, automation, dashboards, and backend connectivity.
