Z-Wave Protocol Description
Z-Wave is today's leading wireless home control technology. This international standard currently covers
over 1700 smart living solutions for controlling home and office safety, energy, heat, HVAC, and light
control.
Unlike other rival technologies, Z-Wave:
●
Works on a quiet frequency
Z-Wave operates at 865-922 MHz, so you can be sure that no other devices will interrupt or
distort the signal — this is not necessarily the case with other protocols that work on a crowded
2.4 GHz frequency.
●
Ensures interoperability
Z-Wave products from different manufacturers and categories can be a part of the same Z-Wave
network.
●
Uses a source-routed mesh network architecture
Every non-battery powered Z-Wave device (including your eZLO hub) works as a repeater in
addition to its primary functionality. If a battery-powered Z-Wave device has a listening mode, it
can also work as a repeater. So the more devices you connect to your network, the stronger and
more dependable the Z-Wave signal in your apartment is going to be, and therefore the data
exchange between devices becomes much more reliable.
The eZLO hub allows connecting to any Z-Wave device that satisfies the following requirements:
●
It must support all the required command classes.
●
Its operating frequency should be standard for your region and coincide with the operating
frequency of your eZLO hub.
IMPORTANT NOTES : If your Z-Wave device does not meet these requirements you will be unable to add
it to the eZLO hub.
For the best results only use a Z-Wave certified device.
