Z-Wave is a reliable, wireless communication technology that allows a wide array of home electronic appliances to talk to each other. It’s capable of transforming any singular device into an intelligent networked device that can be monitored and controlled wirelessly using low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets. This type of technology permits unification of all home electronics into an integrated two-way mesh network.
For consumers, Z-Wave technology allows complete control of a large number
of compatible devices from a single remote control, wall panel, or Internet
interface. This means anyone utilizing a Z-Wave ecosystem can manage
their home energy consumption remotely and thereby reduce wasteful use
of electric power.
As a result of its low power consumption and low cost of manufacture, Z-Wave is easily embedded in consumer electronics products, including battery operated devices such as remote controls, smoke alarms and security sensors. Z-Wave is currently supported by over 200 manufacturers worldwide and appears in a broad range of consumer products in the U.S. and Europe.
The technology, developed by Zensys, has been standardized by the Z-Wave Alliance, an international consortium of manufacturers that oversees interoperability between Z-Wave products and enabled devices. BuLogics
is
a member of the Z-Wave Alliance and one of only 2 test houses
in the world approved to certify Z-Wave products.
