What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart
section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( two-way communication)
and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the
receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-
Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency
range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as
this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a
lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
