Z-Wave

Z-Wave is a low power RF communications technology designed for smart homes and automation. Data rates are up to 100 kbit/s and it operates in the sub-1 GHz band. It supports full mesh networks without the need for a central node that coordinates the data flow. The frequency is at 900 MHz (ISM) with a range of up to 30 m. Overall, it is a good protocol for device communication in home automation.
