The Z-Wave
Alliance is an open consortium of over 160 manufacturers who create products
and services based on Z-Wave, the standard in wireless control.
The
Z-Wave Alliance membership is comprised of industry leaders from across the
entire spectrum of the home controls market.
They share a common
consensus and a common goal -- to provide advanced yet practical systems that
deliver increased comfort, convenience, safety and security.
Z-Wave
products and applications fall into every conceivable area of control for
residential and light commercial environments. These include lighting, HVAC and
security control, as well as home theaters, automated window treatments, pool
and spa controls, garage and access controls and more.
Z-Wave is also
at the forefront of green energy conservation technologies, allowing automated
meter readings and enhanced demand management.
Each Z-Wave product must
pass a stringent conformance test to assure that it meets the Z-Wave standard
for complete interoperability with all other devices and controls.
The
Z-Wave identity mark assures consumers, integrators, dealers and manufacturers
that their products will reliably perform with any other Z-Wave device.
