Z-Wave works perfectly with any kind of home lighting - incandescent, halogen, fluorescents, and even the modern dimmable fluorescent fixtures. Have your home electronics work together as a team with this Z-Wave Solutions Guide.

With today’s entire digital home electronics modernized, one very fundamental idea has always been truly missing – the power to have your electronics work all together as a team. Z-Wave lets you conveniently control all your home electronics in unison and customize their operation according to your needs and your lifestyle. Imagine all the different electronics you have to set for even the simplest day to day activities. How many buttons on how many remote controls do you need to push just to watch your favorite TV series? How many lights do you need to turn off when you wake up in the morning? How many doors do you need to lock at night? What if you could control all of these with a single button? Z-Wave gives you the ability to do so – wirelessly, anywhere.

Special ‘scenes’ can be set up for all your home electronics ...
... that correspond to special activities. With the Z-Wave Plug-in Dimmer Controller you could dim the room lights and bring up your favorite music station. A single remote control can be used to turn off the TV and the telephone in the kids’ room, as well as lower the TV volume in your living room so as not to disturb. The Z-Wave Plug-in Switch Controller can also let you provide soothing light and music simultaneously for your yoga workout. Z-Wave is one truly powerful tool that allows your home electronics to work together under one remote control, rather than having to control each device piece by piece.

Through pre-programmed automation, you can enjoy the same capabilities when you’re away from home. Z-Wave can be programmed to make your house look occupied when you’re away on a holiday through easy device scheduling. Change devices as you wish from virtually anywhere there’s Internet connectivity. Turn on security surveillance systems when you’re at work or see who’s at your door without getting off your couch. Turn on the lights even before you arrive late at night. Have your home welcome you with the right temperature and ambience. Years ago, these capabilities were only equipped on the most affluent homes. However, with Z-Wave, the same striking command is made easy and affordable enough for just about any home. It’s very easy to program. There’s no need for a major investment, and you can gradually build your automated home over time, on your schedule, according to your preferences and your budget.

Illumination or lighting is one aspect of your home that can be automated with Z-Wave. See the savings pile up even without trying. Z-Wave is virtually compliant with virtually any kind of home lighting. And adding Z-Wave to your existing lighting is as easy as plugging your floor, table, or standing lamp into Z-Wave modules and pairing them to your system. With the right Z-Wave Solutions Guide anything is possible.
