Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Telguard FlexHub Z-Wave Controller. This Security
Enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller is a consumer electronic device, used to monitor and control Z-Wave
devices within your home or business using Telguard’s HomeControl Flex service. By adding the
FlexHub to your system, you gain access to many new Z-Wave devices in the Internet of Things that
are designed to enhance your life.
The Telguard FlexHub can monitor and control Z-Wave devices offered by other Z-Wave product
manufacturers. By adding a FlexHub to their system, HomeControl Flex customers can now integrate
Z-Wave devices such as Lights, Locks and Thermostats into their home or business and use the
free HomeControl Flex App or HomeControl Flex web portal to control those devices from virtually
anywhere.
WHAT IS Z-WAVE?
Z-Wave is an ITU standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings where
manufacturers agree to develop and test products that offer interoperability and backwards
compatibility between products from different manufacturers.
Regardless of the manufacturer, non-battery powered Z-Wave devices from various manufacturers
and product categories act as repeaters in a Z-Wave network to forward commands from the
controller to other devices in the network. These repeating nodes can also “beam” or wakeup a
battery powered “listening” device such as a door lock or battery-powered thermostat so that it is
ready to accept commands from a controller that is beyond the range for direct communication by the
Controller in the Z-Wave network. This concept of cross vendor interoperability is a cornerstone of
Z-Wave Plus.
