What is Z-wave?

Z-Wave is a wireless protocol

Z-Wave is the name of a wireless signal used for communication between a base station and other devices. Z-Wave is a protocol used for various IOT devices. The protocol was developed by a Danish company (Zen-Sys) and is now an open standard. Z-Wave uses a low frequency, which has the advantage that it goes better through walls and obstacles than Wi-Fi or Zigbee. A problem with Z-wave is that not every country has received the same frequency, so a US Z-wave product will not work in Europe. So you can't just order a Z-wave product online without taking it into account. Each Z-wave switch/sensor/controller has an antenna (external or internal), so at a bad range it is often possible to use an extender to boost the signal. Z-Wave is also a mesh network: With this network it is therefore possible that Z-wave modules not only with the controller but also among themselves. It is easy to add new Z-Wave products, and you do not need any professional installation or special wiring which often makes other systems expensive.

The standard was developed in the years 80 by Sony and Philips as a transport standard for sound formats. The advent of the CD ensured that the desire arose to transmit as many signals as possible digitally. Almost all DVD players or AV receivers have an SPDIF connection. Read More
