Light+Building 2010: Z-Wave Alliance presents Solutions for the Future Smart Home
|
| (Mar 23, 2010) |
The Z-Wave Alliance, a pioneer in wireless solutions for home automation, will demonstrate cutting-edge home control devices this April 11-16 at the Light+Building show in Frankfurt, Germany. Member companies – including Remotec, Fujikom, Pepper One and There Corporation – will put their cost-cutting, energy-saving products into action at Agora C17.
Embedded in more than 350 retail products from more than 160 well-known manufacturers, Z-Wave technology creates a wireless mesh network, enabling a wide range of devices in and around the home to talk to one another. Z-Wave devices also interoperate with Smart Energy Meters, thus enabling an end-to-end energy management solution that empowers consumers with the convenience of a fully connected home while cutting energy consumption and saving money. The Alliance partners Remotec, There Corporation and Fujikom will be presenting their home control solutions at Light+Building. Pepper One as the first European certification house will also give an insight into the rigorous process of testing the quality of various Z-Wave devices:
