ISC West 2019: Z-Wave Alliance and Silicon Labs- Interview with Mary Miller
In this video, Frank meets with Mary Miller of the Z-Wave Alliance and Silicon Labs at ISC West 2019. This in-depth interview focuses on the evolution of Z-Wave and how the protocol has affected the security and home automation industries. They also discuss the new Z-Wave technology in the pipeline.
Z-Wave refers to a wireless protocol that is primarily used with smart home automation devices. This includes peripherals like lights, locks, switches, thermostats water valves and more. All Z-Wave devices interface with what is known as a Z-Wave controller. This controller serves as the central hub for a Z-Wave network.
A great aspect of Z-Wave hubs and controllers is that they can be accessed remotely, often through a mobile app. This essentially allows a user to control their Z-Wave devices from almost anywhere in the world. You can also integrate your Z-Wave devices in with smart scenes. This will allow your Z-Wave devices to respond based on a set schedule or with certain predetermined events or actions.
Most new alarm systems that support Z-Wave technology come with a 500-Series Chipset. This is commonly referred to as "Z-Wave Plus", and it offers an extended range and battery life when used with compatible Z-Wave Plus devices. It's also worth mentioning that the Z-Wave Plus Chipset is backwards compatible with classic Z-Wave devices. However, the classic Z-Wave devices will not be able to utilize the extended range and battery life of Z-Wave Plus devices.
As for the future of Z-Wave, the first Z-Wave 700-Series devices are starting to roll out. This represents the next evolution for Z-Wave technology. At this time, there are no alarm systems with a built-in 700-Series Chipset. However, all Z-Wave devices are backwards compatible, and even the newest Z-Wave devices should be able to enroll successfully with alarm systems that support the Z-Wave protocol.
