Z-Wave Technology

Z-Wave is the preferred Home Automation system in Europe and interest in this technology is heating up in America and Australia. Why should New Zealand be left behind?

There are many compelling reasons to deploy Z-Wave as the preferred home automation solution to new homes and existing homes, but the clearest choice is the scalablity. Z-Wave systems allow you to start small and grow as your home automation requirements develop.
There are over 375 companies offering more than 1500 Z-Wave products throughout the global markets.

Interoperability

Interoperability is a main principle of Z-Wave. Products from different manufacturers are certified and tested.
The beauty of Z-Wave's interoperability is that there are always more brands, more styles and more products to choose from.

Whole-Home Coverage

Z-Wave uses an intelligent mesh network to provide coverage throughout the home, the more Z-Wave devices you have the better the coverage.
Z-Wave uses it's own wireless system which ensures no interference with your internet wireless or bluetooth devices.
In New Zealand and Australia the Z-Wave frequency is 921.4Mhz.

Low Power Consumption

Z-Wave technoglogy offers smart power management for battery powered sensors and door locks that allows the device to operate for years before needing to replace the battery.
Z-Wave's wireless system consumes less power than standard wireless or bluetooth devices.
