Z-Wave

Z-Wave control is a wireless technology that forms a MESH network, which is a group of products that all communicate with each other so that the wireless signal can find the most efficient route around the network. As the name suggests, the signal moves around the network in a "Z" formation.

Is Z wave Better Than WiFi?

Both Z wave and WiFi are great ways of controlling smart home compatible devices throughout your home. The two protocols are compatible with a wide range of smart devices including lighting, home security and heating systems. 

Unlike WiFi, Z wave devices don't require a central hub and instead pair with one another to form a mesh network. With most devices able to easily detect one another Z wave devices are quick and straightforward to set up. 

Most homes already have an existing WiFi network which negates the need for additional costs or set up. WiFi devices are generally more affordable however often less reliable when paired with multiple devices. With multiple devices communicating with a single hub, WiFi systems are only as reliable as the network strength.

Within the smart home market, there are thousands of devices available compatible with both WiFi and Z wave systems. Though WiFi Systems are generally more cost-effective Z wave systems are a more reliable choice for home automation.
