Ezlo Product Compatibility

The first automation and security hubs to use the most recent Z-Wave technology are called Ezlo Controllers. With an increased network range of up to 2600 feet/800 meters, faster transmission and execution, and energy-saving capabilities, devices that support the most recent version of Z-Wave enhance the Z-Wave infrastructure.

With the newest Z-Wave multicast capabilities, up to 232 grouped devices can be controlled simultaneously by sending a single signal. Whereas other controllers transmit 50 commands to 50 devices sequentially, Ezlo Controllers simultaneously send one command to 50 devices.

More than 700 series devices, the Ezlo Controllers also include Z-Wave Plus LR (Long Range), which significantly expands the size and transmission ranges of Z-Wave networks. The maximum number of devices that Z-Wave devices may support has increased from 232 to 4000, and they are backwards compatible with all prior Z-Wave protocols and products. Devices with Z-Wave capabilities employ direct line-of-sight delivery ranges up to 1 mile/1.6 km.
