Z-Wave

Summary.

Developed in 2001 specifically for smart home devices to connect directly with an app, hub or voice assistant.

  • Products that support Z-Wave work with each other seamlessly, regardless of manufacturer
  • Z-Wave devices use very little power (so very good for battery powered devices)
  • Z-Wave uses a mesh network for communication, meaning that one device passes along information to the next device, and so on down the line

Range (mesh for powered devices)
