More Info on Z-Wave Alliance

Representing a broad range of industries, channels, and consumer touch points, the Z-Wave Alliance members all share a common goal: to bring advanced, yet practical wireless products and services to market that work together seamlessly, regardless of brand or vendor.  This interoperability between products and brands is unique to Z-Wave, which each Alliance member has adopted as its wireless technology of choice.

To assure this interoperability, each Z-Wave product must pass a stringent conformance test to assure that it meets the Z-Wave standard for complete compliance with all other devices and controls. The Z-Wave identity mark assures consumers, integrators, dealers and manufacturers that their products will reliably perform with any other Z-Wave device.

Z-Wave products and applications fall into every conceivable area of control and monitoring for residential and light commercial environments. They are powering revolutions in home safety and security, healthcare and independent aging, hospitality and real estate management and energy conservation. Z-Wave is at the forefront of green energy management technologies, allowing automated meter readings and enhanced demand management.
