###ZWave###

What is Zwave?
Z-Wave is a wireless technology (RF) that makes regular household products, such as lights, door locks and thermostats "smart".
Currently there are nearly 1000 different Z-Wave products taht all work together so you can choose the products that are right for your home.
Z-Wave products "talk" to each other wirelessly and securely and can be accessed and controlled by your Total Control system's Z-Wave (TRF-ZW1) gateway.

Things to know:
Easy to install
No new wires
Any product with the Z-Wave logo on the box works with any Z-Wave system
Affordable - get started with minimum investment and easily add on more products
Reliable - Proven over a decade in the market
Secure encryption
Lots choices - styles, price poitns, colors, applications, etc.
Already 20 million products in homes worldwide.
908.42 MHz Frequency (US Only)
Less susceptible to interference
Uses an industry standard protocol
Z-Wave network can have up to 232 devices
Gateway maximums may very
---------------------------------------------
Mesh Networking:
Each Z-Wave device (node) communicates with each other to send, receive and intelligently route signals.
Smart Mesh Network:
Adding more devices to the system increases the integrity of the mesh network
Self Healing Mesh Network
Up to 100' in open environment, generally 45' communication hops in the home
Up to 4X hops from node to node (135' distance between gateway and last device)
Can cover +/-7,500 S.F. with a single gateway.
Seamelessly integrate a Z-Wave subsystem into a Total Control project
Allows two-way control of Z-Wave scenes, Lights, Locks & thermostats
Controls virtually all other Z-Wave devices via one-way commands
Easily access device commands for placement in any macro.
---------------------------------------------
Connect the TRF-ZW1 to the same network as the Total Control System
Program teh TRF-ZW1 via its "portal"
---------------------------------------------
MODEM->ROUTER->SWITCH--->SYSTEMCONTROLLER
MODEM->ROUTER->SWITCH--->TRF-ZW1
---------------------------------------------
Easily import the Z-Wave subsystem into Accelerator
Quickly access Z-Wave device commands which can be used in custom macros and/or automation
---------------------------------------------
Z-Wave scenes consist of multiple functions of any paired Z-Wave device
Z-wave scenes potentially execute quicker than sequential Accelerator macros
-) i.e.: Z-Wave lighting scenes will create smooth transition for all on and all off
Scenes can be combined with Accelerator macros & events to integrate non-Z-Wave device functions
---------------------------------------------
Z-Wave Door sensor turns on closet light
Z-Wave door unlocks and adjusts thermostat and turns lights on
Z-Wave flood Sensor is triggered it sends a phone notification
