Now any home can be a 'smart' home; quickly, easily and affordably.
Z-Wave is a world-standard wireless technology that lets all your home electronics talk to each other, and to you, via remote control. It uses simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets, without interference from the other wireless devices you might have in your home. Z-Wave control can be added to almost anything electronic, even devices that you wouldn't ordinarily think of as "intelligent," such as appliances, window shades, thermostats and lights.
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 easily added to your existing home 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.
And Z-Wave lets you control these devices in ways that give you complete command even when you're not at home yourself. You can control your Z-Wave household remotely from a PC and the Internet from anywhere in the world...even through your cell phone!

With Z-Wave, you can add as much or as little home control as you want over time. You can add Z-Wave to a device, a room, a floor or the entire home, according to your needs.
Unlike costly whole-home control systems that need special wiring and professional installation, Z-Wave is accessible and easy for the do-it-yourselfer.
Z-Wave's intelligent networking 'understands" the present status of any enabled device, and gives you confirmation that your devices have received the automatic or manual control commands you want.
Z-Wave is the only interoperable wireless communication standard of its type. It's brand-agonistic; you're not stuck having to buy from just one manufacturer or supplier.

Cut your energy bills without trying. See who's at the door from your smartphone when you're away at work or on vacation. Z-Wave can make all this happen and more.
