What is Z-Wave? How is it used?

Z-Wave is a wireless communications protocol designed for Home Automation. A Z-Wave network starts with a central Z-Wave controller and is customized with devices selected by you. The technology uses local, low power RF frequencies to build an intelligent mesh network between devices. Your Z-Wave network is strengthened by expansion and will not interfere with on-site Wi-Fi networks.

Easy to Incorporate

Z-Wave is considered an affordable Home Automation solution, as the devices do not require special wiring or complicated programming. An existing network can be expanded upon quickly and easily.

Incorporating Z-Wave devices into your home security system allows you to control these devices remotely on demand, or create automated rules and triggers.

What Devices can utilize Z-Wave?

Many home electronics are available in Z-Wave enabled models, some of the most popular being light switches, thermostats, blinds, and locks.

Avoid fumbling in the dark by programming lights to turn on when you disarm your security system.
Save energy by setting your thermostat to cool when you leave home and secure your alarm system.
Add smart locks that allow you to lock or unlock your door from anywhere in the world.

Use Existing Devices

There are accessory modules that allow for simple retrofits in virtually any device that uses electricity.

Z-Wave provides exciting new possibilities for homeowners looking for an entry-level, or a whole Z-Wave home solution. Contact a TELSCO Security Consultant, right here in Edmonton, to find out more about integrating Z-Wave into your home.

I figure it's due time I give a review. I've used Telsco, for home and business, for a number of years now. What a great group! Whether it's an install or a call from the monitoring station they are always ontop of things. Professional, reliable are afew of the words I would use to describe their team.We have 8 locations they have set up and monitor. We have scheduled times that our shops are to be armed. I always get a call when a shop hasn't been armed or disarmed.No issues with my home system, I operate everything from an app on my phone. I Get a notification when the door opens/closes and can lock the door from anywhere when my kids forget too :)I can confidently recommend the Telsco team To anyone knowing they will get treated right!

I called in and the online support was excellent Gordon walked me through each step to get us back online. Thanks Gordon and Telsco.

We have enjoyed being with TELSCO security now for many years. This is our second home that we have entrusted our security to them and have been totally satisfied. We have also used TELSCO in the past for our business security and always felt our business was in safe hands. We recently had Patrick out to upgrade some features on our system and were very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. The fact that this is a locally owned family business and not off in the US or a different province also makes us feel very secure in the fact that we can reach them almost immediately and have our questions answered professionally. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a security system.
