Shelly Group has announced the expanded Shelly Wave lineup for the U.S. market, enhanced with Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) technology. This development represents a significant advancement in smart home connectivity, delivering extended transmission range, robust network scalability, and improved energy efficiency.
The Shelly Wave product portfolio, built on the Z-Wave 800 Series, includes new products that have been purpose-built to support ZWLR functionality as well as existing UL-certified Z-Wave devices that have been upgraded to take full advantage of the benefits offered by ZWLR technology. The expanded lineup features 11 Shelly Wave solutions super-charged with support for ZWLR and includes three battery-powered devices, demonstrating a dedicated focus on delivering versatile, power-efficient solutions.
Key Benefits of ZWLR to Shelly Wave Devices:
- Extended range and coverage: ZWLR provides a substantial range boost, enabling devices to communicate over distances exceeding 1 mile (line of sight) at full power.
