  • The Dark Ages of Z-Wave Setup

    In the past, Z-Wave network setup was a bit complicated, particularly for those who wished to control their networks with automation systems. Devices had to be added to handheld Z-Wave "primary controllers" and then that information had to be 'replicated' to a separate controller interface. The process was tedious and prone to errors. Adding and removing devices also created problems for many.

    Z-Wave Renaissance!
    In 2006, we simplified the Z-Wave setup process for our professional installers by introducing our revolutionary Z-Troller™. Now, with the introduction of Z-Tool, we simplify the process for everyone else!
    Z-Tool eliminates the need for a separate handheld primary controller by turning the PC interface itself into the primary controller! Because of this, the replication step is no longer necessary and device additions and removals are streamlined.
    Z-Tool networks will work with any Z-Wave enabled automation system including (but not limited to) our own HomeSeer software and hardware automation controllers.
