Affordable home automation solutions
ConnectHome is a home automation service that allows users to control their smart home accessories (lights, switches, cameras, etc.) and stay informed about what’s happening around their property even when they’re far away from home. Users can easily manage their smart ConnectHome devices via the company’s website or an iOS app.
All ConnectHome devices work on the basis of Z-Wave technology, which is a “wireless radio frequency technology that allows smart devices to talk and connect with each other,” according to Z-Wave creators. Z-Wave-enabled devices create a mesh network among themselves that gets stronger when more devices are added.
Your household products (such as lights, thermostats, and door locks) become “smart” as soon as Z-Wave connectivity – a low-duty Z-Wave radio transceiver that supports the Z-Wave radio layer – is added; Z-Wave lets devices communicate with each other and perform actions.
The nice thing about Z-Wave is that it operates wirelessly and securely. Your smart home devices can be accessed and managed remotely via your phone, tablet, or PC, which means you can control your home from anywhere in the world.
A Z-Wave hub (which is the main component in the Z-Wave system) receives a command sent via a mobile app (say, “close the garage door”) and then transfers this command from one device to another until it reaches the target device (the garage door controller); this journey then results in your garage door being closed. All of this happens wirelessly without any interruption of your home or your Wi-Fi network.
