Key Features

• Z-Wave 800 Series Performance: Powered by the advanced EFR32ZG23 chipset, it handles larger networks with significantly lower latency and better energy efficiency compared to older Z-Wave 500 or 700 series controllers.

• Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) Support: Enables direct, long-range communication with compatible ZWLR devices. It extends wireless coverage to over 1,000 meters in an open space, eliminating the need for mesh repeaters to reach detached garages, basements, or outdoor gates.

• Robust Aluminum Housing: Features a compact aluminum alloy casing that acts as a highly effective heat sink. This ensures reliability and stability during continuous (24/7) operation on your home server without performance degradation due to overheating.

• Adjustable External Antenna: Equipped with a rotatable 2 dBi external antenna to optimize radio coverage and easily penetrate thick walls.

• Advanced S2 Security: Fully supports the latest Z-Wave S2 security framework, ensuring that communication between your devices and the controller remains highly encrypted and protected against unauthorized access.

• Interference Mitigation: A 1-meter USB extension cable is included in the package to move the dongle away from electrical interference generated by PCs, Raspberry Pis, and USB 3.0 ports.
