3 - What is Z-Wave Technology?
Z-Wave is an award-winning home control wireless standard. Using fail-safe wireless mesh
technology, Z-Wave provides reliable and secure connections for all Z-Wave devices within the
home. The HomeRemote System uses Z-Wave technology to communicate with home control
devices and modules. To ensure that the Home Control devices you purchase are compatible
with the HomeRemote System, make sure to look for the Z-Wave logo on the module plastic or
packaging.
Z-Wave is a next-generation wireless "ecosystem" that lets all your home electronics talk to each
other, and to you, via remote control and the HomeRemote Gateway. It uses simple, reliable,
low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets. Z-Wave
functionality can be added to almost any electronic device in your house, even devices that you
wouldn't ordinarily think of as "intelligent," such as appliances, window shades, thermostats and
home lighting.
Z-Wave unifies all your home electronics into an integrated wireless network, with no
complicated programming and no new cables to run. Any Z-Wave enabled device can be
effortlessly added to this network, and many non-Z-Wave devices can be made compatible by
simply plugging them into a Z-Wave accessory module. In seconds, your device gets joined to
the network and can communicate wirelessly with other Z-Wave modules and controllers.
Because Z-Wave operates on its own unique frequency, it will not interfere with other wireless
equipment in your home, like cordless telephones and Wi-Fi routers. And because Z-Wave is a
modular system, you can build your network one device at a time, one room at a time, or the
whole house at once. The choice is yours, and the possibilities are nearly endless. Best of all, Z-
Wave technology is extremely affordable, giving you powerful home control that you can
integrate yourself in moments, at a fraction of the cost of conventional smart home technologies.
