Just been reading a blog about Home Automation, one of the articles mentioned installing a new alarm system. What caught my eye was that the solution uses Z-Wave and that they are aiming to integrate with various smart home systems.
Just in case it’s also of interest to others, I thought I share it. Take a look for your self. They are a UK focused company at the moment by the looks of it, they are also a young company so hopefully more progressive.
One advantage of Z-Wave is local control without cloud dependencies. Does this still work without Internet access? The integrations I saw listed & planned all require Internet access.
A thief just needs to disable Internet access to disable the system.
From how I read it, the system doesn’t need Internet access to work. But agree the integrations mentioned on their website are all cloud based.
I wonder if it’s possible to connect to the base unit from a Z-Wave controller attached to OH. Although as it’s likely to be a controller, is that possible?
