Z-Wave Gateway
Controller and gateway for managing Z-Wave Classic and Z-Wave Long Range networks and integrating devices with external systems.
A Z-Wave gateway manages device inclusion, security, routing, and communication within a Z-Wave network. Depending on implementation, it may support Z-Wave Classic, Z-Wave Long Range, and different controller roles.
Typical functions include SmartStart, S2 Security, Multi Channel, Association, Supervision, Central Scene, and other Command Classes. The controller may back up and restore the network, detect and replace failed nodes, optimize routes, and manage OTA updates.
For Z-Wave Long Range, the RF region, channels, transmit power, and supported transmission modes are important. Selection criteria include Z-Wave generation, maximum node count, security, SmartStart, mesh functions, and regional compatibility.
This subcategory includes Z-Wave Classic and Z-Wave Long Range gateways and controllers for building automation and IoT.
