What is Z-Wave? Developed by Danish company Zensys in 2001, Z-Wave is a wireless networking protocol primarily designed for use in home automation. Z-Wave was bought by Sigma Designs in 2009, which then sold the technology to Silicon Labs for $240 million earlier in 2018. Because the technology is owned by a single company, the Z-Wave standard has remained exactly that — a standard — and as such every Z-Wave device works with every other. This differs slightly from Zigbee, which is broken up into several different protocols and devices from one protocol do not always communicate with those from another. Devices with the new Zigbee 3.0 standard can talk with all Zigbee products, which will hopefully mean this drawback is less […]
