Nope!

6LoWireless uses the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol to communicate, and we specifically use channels that sit between the main WiFi channels. We did this on purpose because we know your Netflix is important, but we also don't want your Netflix interfering with your lights!

Check out this image that tries to show how the 802.15.4 channels sit between the key WiFi (802.11) channels:
