New Z-Wave SmartStart Preconfigures Devices And Network For The Simplest And Most Secure Installation In The Market

"The percentage of consumers reporting that their smart home vendor installed their device has more than doubled over the past year," said Patrice Samuels, Parks Associates' Senior Analyst. "Reducing friction associated with system installation and support is critical to both profitability and the customer experience."

Z-Wave SmartStart's incorporation of its new S2 framework, which provides the most advanced security for smart home devices and controllers, gateways and hubs, ensures service providers can offer the most secure smart home packages in the market today. Z-Wave's S2 framework was developed in conjunction with cybersecurity hacking experts, giving Z-Wave devices, new levels of impenetrability. By securing communication both locally for home-based devices and in the hub or gateway for cloud functions, S2 completely removes the risk of devices being hacked while they are included in the network.
