Z-Wave, a pivotal technology in the smart home industry since the late 1990s, faced challenges due to its closed nature and reliance on central hubs. However, the emergence of Matter, which aims to unify smart home protocols, is rekindling interest in Z-Wave. With its transformation to an open-source model and the introduction of Long Range technology, Z-Wave is positioned for a resurgence by enhancing its compatibility with Matter and expanding its market appeal within the smart home ecosystem.
The once closed protocol Z-Wave is now open-source, introducing Z-Wave Long Range technology to expand capabilities and integrate with the Matter standard.
Matter serves as a common standard for smart home devices, merging technologies while enhancing user experiences across various platforms.
