DCH-Z310 Z-Wave Smoke Alarm

The DCH-Z310 mydlinkTM Z-Wave Smoke Alarm is designed to give
early warning of developing fires by giving off the alarm sounds from
its build-in alarm horn, based on Z-WaveTM technology.
It is the Z-WaveTM plus product, it supports the security, OTA... Those
newest features of the Z-WaveTM technology. Z-WaveTM is a wireless
communication protocol designed for home automation, specifically to
remotely control applications in residential and light commercial
environments. The technology uses a low-power RF radio embedded or
retrofitted into home electronics devices and systems, such as lighting,
home access control, entertainment systems and household appliances.

This product can be included and operated in any Z-WaveTM network
with other Z-WaveTM certified devices from other manufacturers and/or
other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network
will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the
network.

The device adopts the Z-WaveTM 500 series chip, when your Z-WaveTM
network system is all made by Z-WaveTM 500 series devices. The

network system will have the advantages as below.

 Concurrent multi-channel support reduces external interference.
 Better RF range, improve about 10 meters in indoor.
 Support 100 Kbps transmit speed, speed up communication.
