| BEDFORD,
NH --- Sept 1, 2003 --- HomeSeer Technologies announces the
support of the new
Z-Wave™ protocol for home automation
by Zensys Inc. Z-Wave™ is a wireless RF-based communications
technology designed for residential and light commercial control.
HomeSeer’s Z-Wave™ USB interface gives our PC based
automation system, HomeSeer, full access to all installed Z-Wave™ devices
in the home. Since each Z-Wave™ device acts as an RF
repeater, the size of the home is not a factor when installing
the system. Designed to be low cost, the Z-Wave™ system
can be installed by the home owner or professional installer.
Communication is reliable, secure, and fast. The system cannot
be controlled by unauthorized devices. HomeSeer supports concurrent
Z-Wave control along with HomeSeer’s existing lighting
control solutions, which include X-10, Lutron Radio-RA, OnQ
ALC and Lightolier Compose. Therefore, users can add Z-Wave
to their existing lighting and automation control system or
can gradually replace other technologies as desired. "A reliable, secure, and affordable home automation
solution is now available with the Z-Wave system. This technology
will quickly become the new standard in home automation," states
Richard Helmke, founder of HomeSeer Technologies.
The HomeSeer
Z-Wave™ USB
interface will be available in November. Decorator style
wall switches will also be available
in November. Lamp modules, appliance modules, and handheld
remote controls are available now.
