Prior to the Z-Wave LR, multiple signal repeaters were required in a mesh network to achieve transmission distances beyond the boundaries of the home. Z-Wave LR eliminates the need for these repeaters, unlocking new potential for Z-Wave networks. Z-Wave LR technology allows homeowners remote monitoring and control of their garage doors, using either a smartphone or the security panel or hub, providing an extra layer of protection against intrusion. The Controller is compatible with any certified Z-Wave-enabled hub or security panel.
Features of the new Ecolink Garage Door Controller:
Available in late Q1, the Controller will ship through Ecolink professional security dealers in North America, and eventually direct to consumer on platforms like Amazon.com. “We are proud to be the first certified Z-Wave Long Range product and excited to help consumers who want reliable, easy to use security technology for their home. This continues the many ‘firsts’ that UEI has contributed to our sensor technology history. We look forward to current and future partners that plan to adopt the Ecolink brand and excited that the controller is slated to ship soon,” said Hrag Ohannessian, SVP Sales for Home Automation, Security and Hospitality.
