Z-Wave
Z-Wave is a state-of-the-art wireless technology used as a standard for wireless
home control. It is a next-generation wireless ecosystem that lets all your home
electronics talk to each other, and to you, via a controller or gateway. It uses
simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and
cabinets. All products featuring the Z-Wave logo are certified to work with one
another.
Wireless Range
The Power Monitor is made wireless by Z-Wave technology.
Typical range for a wireless module is approximately 100 feet. When installing the
module consider an open area with little obstruction for the best signal and
performance. Avoiding the obstruction between the module and controller may
make a negative effect on wireless performance and range.
