FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
November 10, 2006
Bedford, NH – HomeSeer
Technologies announces its new “Z-Seer” software
for advanced Z-Wave network analysis and troubleshooting.
Z-Seer is designed to help installers and homeowners quickly
diagnose and troubleshoot Z-Wave networks and will be the
first tool of its type to ship! With Z-Seer, users can quickly
and easily locate and display network problems and connectivity
statistics.
“The biggest challenges in Z-Wave network setup
have been to optimize the network for best performance
and identify the problem spots”, states Richard Helmke,
HomeSeer president. “Until now, Z-Wave troubleshooting
has been a tedious ‘trial and error’ process.
However, with the release of our handheld Z-Troller™ last
month the upcoming release of Z-Seer later this month,
we’ve taken the guesswork out of these challenges!” adds
Helmke.
The new tool graphically displays all Z-Wave device nodes
with connectively statistics, connection paths and packet
transmission performance. Roll over any node in the display
and its connected neighbors will light up. A bar-graph
displays the node’s relative connectivity and total
number of connected neighboring nodes. Right-click on any
node and options will appear to test the node’s connectivity
and optimize it for improved performance. A built-in function
is also included to optimize the entire Z-Wave network.
Z-Seer is designed to work with the company’s new
Z-Troller PC interface and its PRO-100 home automation
controller or any PC running HomeSeer HSPRO or HS2 home
automation software. Z-Seer is compatible with all Z-Wave
products from all manufacturers including ACT, Intermatic,
Leviton, Cooper, Monster Cable, RCS and Camstat (to name
just a few).
Z-Seer is slated to begin shipping in November, 2006.
