What is z wave?
It is a wireless communication protocol that supports mesh Wi-Fi networks.
Very low power consumption and Internet data, which makes it ideal for smart home devices that rely on batteries, characterize it, as they can last for a year or more without recharging, such as smart door locks, motion and temperature sensors. Its characteristics are like Zigbee technology, with some minor differences, such as.
Zigbee operates on a frequency of 2.4 GHz, which is used by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies, which leads to the possibility of interference with other technologies
z wave frequency
While Z wave operates on a lower frequency of (908.42 MHz) in the United States and (868 MHz) in the European Union, which ensures that it does not interfere with other technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Z wave can create networks comprising (232) devices, unlike Zigbee, which can create networks comprising (65,000) devices because of its use of the higher (2.4 GHz) frequency
Coverage range
It covers an area of (30-50 meters) inside the home and (30-100 meters) in open spaces according to the
Surrounding environmental conditions.
It also provides secure and high-quality encryption.
Common uses
- Used to control lighting
- Control security systems (surveillance cameras, smart locks, motion sensors, etc.)
