About Z-Wave:
Z-Wave is a smart home protocol specifically designed for communication between smart devices. Thanks to its sub-gigahertz frequency, Z-Wave ensures reliable signal propagation, and its MESH network topology allows devices located farther from the central unit to communicate effectively (devices with continuous power supply function as repeaters). Z-Wave devices require a Z-Wave Hub or USB coordinator (such as one connected to a mini PC) to operate. The Z-Wave protocol uses standardized communication command classes (Command Class), ensuring compatibility between hundreds of brands and thousands of devices. Devices within a Z-Wave network can operate as a unified system. A Z-Wave network can include up to 232 devices. Another advantage of the Z-Wave protocol is its support for association groups, which enable direct assignments between devices within the network. Additionally, Z-Wave devices offer extensive parameter settings at the protocol level, allowing customized configurations to meet even the most sophisticated requirements.
The Shelly Wave Pro Dimmer 1PM is a DIN rail-mounted, single-channel smart dimmer designed for precise lighting brightness control. As a DIN rail-mounted device, it requires a star wiring structure. It can operate independently with a switch or push button or be integrated into Z-Wave-based smart home systems, enabling remote access and control via a smart home hub and an internet connection.
Shelly Wave devices are built on Z-Wave communication technology, one of the leading smart home protocols. This ensures compatibility with any gateway that supports the Z-Wave communication protocol. Shelly regularly conducts compatibility tests with various Z-Wave gateways to ensure seamless operation. The Shelly Wave Pro Dimmer 1PM is an ideal choice for smart control and automation of home, office, or industrial lighting systems.
