We’ve just received a press release from a new European on-line Z-Wave store. lets hope this will be a catalylst that will help to kick start the long-awaited expansion of the Z-Wave range of products.
“Copenhagen, 05 December 2008 – The first German shopping portal for home control devices using the popular Z-Wave mesh networking standard has opened for business: www.zwave4u.com. The site uses over 50 lighting, security, entertainment, heating and energy-saving solutions. The broad product offerings include products for Z-Wave beginners, such as starter kits, and advanced options for such home functions as energy conservation, home safety and access control.
Every modern household has a large range of controllable electronic devices, such as lamps, TV and hi-fi devices, garage doors and heating and air conditioning systems. Unfortunately, these all need to be operated individually and directly, and this is where Z-Wave technology comes in. Z-Wave makes it possible to connect all these devices in a wireless network and enables centralized control over any or all of them by means of hand-held remote, PC or laptop, the Internet or a smart phone. products from various makers are mutually compatible and allow consumers to improve home comfort while dramatically minimizing energy consumption.
First Z-Wave online shop in Europe – The launch of the Z-Wave online shop is another milestone for the Z-Wave alliance in its conquest of the European home control market. “Home control is rapidly getting ground in Europe, not least because of the current energy debate”, describes Raoul Wijgergangs, Chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance. “Installing a Z-Wave-based home network enables the intelligent management of electrical energy and heating devices in line with actual needs. The online shop now allows householders to buy the needed components with a click of the mouse – basic and easy.”
Z-Wave is used by over 170 companies around the world by such market leaders such as Nokia, Merten, Leviton and Danfoss. Guaranteed product interoperability indicates users can count on all devices working reliably with each other. This allows consumers a choice of options from a particular category of device, and the ability to extend their home network with new products at a later date.
Z-Wave in the home at a Click of the mouse – The Z-Wave shop allows home control users to purchase products for their home network easily and securely from the comfort of their home. The shop uses the following features:
Easy categories for controls, lighting, doors and windows, security, heating and cooling and energy consumption, as well as product bundles
Detailed explanations of the functions of each device
