Male 1: There’s nothing like technology to make life a little easier. Modern homes have more systems and electronic devices than ever before and we have found dozen of tools to monitor and control them off locally and remotely. Many of these products relay on a wireless technology called Z-way that enables different devices and systems to talk to each other, sharing the information and control. Male 2: So Z-way is not just one product line. Z-way is a technology that’s used by over a 125 manufactures to build home control products. All Z-way products are in to operative, so you can pick and choose products from all of the manufactures. The second ingredient is home control can only happen in the market when it is robust reliable, and Z-way is base on a two-way wireless net working technology. So the sender always knows whether a signal has been actually received and every Z-wave device is actually a repeater. So if the signal cannot get directly to the receiver it will travel around as being routed in forwarded so Z-wave messages are very, very robust reliable. And as sort a home control must be affordable because otherwise it’s not being adopted by the masses. Male 1: One thing about wireless technology is it allows you to retrofit an existing home with a lighting system at a very reasonable cost. As a matter of fact this particular system can be installed in an existing home for less than $3,000.00.
