Zwave is a wireless communication protocol used for smart home devices. It allows for devices to communicate with each other and with a central hub or controller.
Zwave was developed by a Danish company called Zensys in 1999.
In 2008, the Zwave Alliance was formed to promote the adoption of the protocol.
In 2016, Silicon Labs acquired Zensys and became the owner of the Zwave technology.
A wireless communication protocol used for smart homes and industrial applications.
A dual-mesh communication protocol for smart homes that uses both wired and wireless communication.
A protocol for smart homes that uses a low-power mesh network and is backed by companies such as Google and Samsung.
A central device that connects all Zwave devices and allows for controlling them.
Devices that measure temperature, humidity, motion, and other variables and report the data to the Zwave Hub.
Devices that control lights, fans, and other appliances and can be remotely controlled through the Zwave Hub.
Zwave is a wireless communication protocol used for smart home devices. It allows for devices to communicate with each other and with a central hub or controller.
Zwave works by using low-power radio waves to communicate between devices. Data is sent in small packets to ensure reliability and avoid interference with other wireless devices.
There are over 2,500 devices that are certified to be compatible with Zwave. These include door locks, sensors, switches, and thermostats from various brands.
Yes, a Zwave Hub is necessary to control Zwave devices. It acts as a central device that connects all Zwave devices and allows for controlling them through a smartphone app or voice commands.
Yes, Zwave uses encryption and authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized devices can communicate with each other. It also uses a unique network ID to avoid interference with other Zwave networks.
