Smart Home and Z-Wave Technology

Z-Wave is a wireless home automation technology that allows you to control household appliances and lighting - making your home a connected and intelligent smart home.

With over 35 million Z-Wave devices sold worldwide and over 1000 different products available, Z-Wave is by far the World's most popular home automation technology.

In today’s world of mobile devices, portable computers and Wi-Fi Internet, our technological demands are becoming increasingly sophisticated. 

Since the early 2000s, Z-Wave has been incorporated into a range of devices capable of interacting with household utilities and appliances. With Z-Wave devices, you can automate everyday tasks like opening and closing windows, switching off lights, locking doors, adjusting room temperatures and much more.

This form of wireless communication is known as the ‘Internet of Things,’ a concept that involves automated devices communicating with one another to perform various tasks. Each wireless device is given a unique identifier enabling them to work together in a secure mesh network.

Wireless technology has played a big role in assisting with industry applications. With heart rate monitors, you can receive instant notifications on an individual’s condition. While entertainment devices like Apple TV’s, allow people to stream their favourite movies and TV shows.

Since 2005, Z-Wave wireless technology has been at the forefront of bringing Home Automation devices to a broader market. Over 50 million Z-Wave devices have been sold world-wide and over 90% of security companies use Z-Wave.



What is Z-Wave Technology?

Z-Wave devices communicate with each other through an uninterrupted, low-band radio frequency. Devices with a built-in Z-Wave chip are capable of transforming ordinary appliances into “smart” appliances. Using a Z-Wave gateway or smartphone, you can control, monitor and automate almost any electrical appliance around your house. From operating your lights to opening and closing blinds, Z-Wave gives you complete control over your home and you can easily install more Z-Wave enabled devices whenever you choose to.


How does it Work?

Each Z-Wave enabled device communicates through a sub-1GHz band signal. This allows for multiple networks to operate under the one roof, without interfering with any wireless 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals. Download the Z-Wave app onto your mobile device and you can control any appliance around the house with a Z-Wave gateway, or use your smart phone when you’re away to check if you turned the iron, lights or air conditioner off. You can even turn your heating on before you arrive home.


Major Applications of Z-Wave Technology

Domestic

With Z-Wave, you can transform ordinary appliances into “smart appliances.” These include a range of common household utilities, including: lights, door locks, and alarms, heating and cooling appliances, irrigation, security systems and more.

Z-Wave enabled devices let you control every process around the home, no matter where you are. Using either a Z-Wave gateway or a mobile device, you can automate each process to work for you. Download the Z-Wave app onto your iPhone or Android device, so you can control and monitor household appliances when you’re away.

Light Commercial

Z-Wave is ideal for keeping your commercial property safe and secure. Install Z-Wave motion and sound detectors and you’ll be instantly alerted to potential intruders. Your security devices can communicate with other Z-Wave products too. For example, you can program outdoor lights to switch on when intruders are detected and for your Z-Wave gateway to send you an SMS with instant photos.


Z-Wave can also improve the quality of your work environment. Use Z-Wave to automate your air conditioning appliance, which will instantly activate after reaching a desired temperature. Your employees will enjoy the benefits of a temperature regulated workspace, providing comfort and stability throughout all seasons. You can control multiple A/C split systems in one building wirelessly using only one controller.
