What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave Australia - Wireless home automation products
Z-Wave is a wireless technology specifically designed for home automation. It allows ordinary household devices, such as a light switch or a thermostat, to "talk" to one another, giving them the capability to perform functions automatically. Z-Wave doesn't suffer from the same range and interference issues associated with other wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, and can operate efficiently and reliably in even the largest homes.​

Every Z-Wave network starts with a single controller and a controllable device. A controller may include portable remotes, PC interfaces and control gateways. Devices may include anything from hard-wired in-wall lighting modules to battery operated sensors and door locks. Additional devices can be added at any time and although multiple controllers can also exist within a given Z-Wave network, the system is based around a central primary controller.

Setting up a Z-Wave network is simple. Each device is identified by a unique code which the controller "learns" during a one time pairing or inclusion process (similar to the pairing of Bluetooth devices). Messages are sent from the controller to the target device either directly (if within range - typically up to 30m indoors), or routed via the device's nearest "neighbours". Devices may be configured to retransmit messages in order to guarantee connectivity, making the entire system extremely robust.
