Z-Wave Alliance Dominates Smart Home Security Solutions With Vibrant Certified Product Ecosystem Showcase at ISC West 2015

The Z-Wave Alliance, an open consortium of leading global companies deploying Z-Wave, the world's largest ecosystem of wireless control products and services, will exhibit for the first time ever at ISC West, hosting a range of manufacturers in the Z-Wave Alliance Pavilion. With over 1300 certified products, 300 member companies and more than 35 million devices installed worldwide, Z-Wave continues to be the wireless technology of choice for the security and smart home markets.

"Though it is our first time exhibiting with a Z-Wave Alliance Pavilion at ISC West, the Z-Wave brand isn't a newcomer to the space," said Mark Walters, Z-Wave Alliance Chairman. "Manufacturers choose Z-Wave for their solutions time and time again because of its interoperability, as well as cost and ease of integration."

Z-Wave has seen 4 years of double-digit growth from the adoption of home control by the security industry. Today, 90% of the lifestyle security systems in North America, defined as smart alarm panels with connected smart devices (such as smart locks, lighting or thermostats) are powered by Z-Wave.

Z-Wave's dominance across the lifestyle security market will be highlighted by twenty-eight Alliance member companies exhibiting at ISC West, in addition to the nine member companies participating in the Z-Wave Alliance Pavilion. The pavilion exhibitors include:
