The new Z-Wave Plus standard
Z-Wave Plus 700 is the latest generation of the wireless communication protocol for smart homes, introducing a number of advanced improvements in range, energy efficiency, and security. Compared to older versions, Z-Wave 700 provides up to 250% greater signal range (up to 100 m in open space) and improved receiver sensitivity, enabling stable communication between devices even in large homes or multi-story buildings. Thanks to the new SiLabs 700 chipset, the Aeotec Z-Stick 7 offers very low power consumption (standby from just 30 µA), which translates to reduced system load and longer operation of battery-powered devices. The standard also supports SmartStart technology , enabling automatic device pairing without the need for manual configuration. S2 Security guarantees a high level of data protection and effective network security against unauthorized access, providing better protection against hacker attacks and secure communication between devices. This makes adding devices to the network quick, safe, and convenient. Additionally, Z-Wave 700 is fully compatible with earlier versions of Z-Wave, ensuring seamless integration with existing home automation infrastructure.
