Some may have noticed that some Z-Wave 800 series hardware is starting to become available for purchase (most of it being manufacturered under the Zooz branding), so I thought it would be useful to post this Z-Wave alliance link which explains the differences between the Z-Wave we all know, and Z-Wave Long Range. It gets into the nitty-gritty of the technology, and what benefits it offers.
- Improved battery life
- Longer range
- Backwards compatible
- Star topology vs network topology
