About Z-Wave:
Z-Wave is a smart home protocol specifically designed for communication between smart devices. Its sub-gigahertz frequency ensures excellent signal coverage, while the Z-Wave MESH network topology allows devices farther from the central hub to communicate effectively (continuous power-supplied devices function as signal repeaters).Z-Wave devices require a Z-Wave Hub or USB coordinator (such as one connected to a mini PC) for operation. The Z-Wave protocol uses standardized command classes (Command Class), enabling compatibility between thousands of devices from different brands within one Z-Wave network. A Z-Wave network can support up to 232 devices.One key advantage of Z-Wave technology is its support for Association Groups, which allow direct communication between individual devices within the network. Additionally, Z-Wave devices offer extensive parameter customization options, enabling users to tailor settings for even the most sophisticated requirements.
