The Z-Wave Alliance, celebrating the second anniversary of its Advanced Energy Savings Thermostat Device Class, has introduced three new wireless thermostats -- the Intermatic CA8900, Wayne Dalton WDTC-20 and RCS TZ43.
Z-Wave now has 12 thermostats available from ACT, Danfoss, RCS, Horstmann and HAI. All the thermostats are fully Z-Wave compliant and interoperable with more than 300 Z-Wave products, including lighting controls, appliance and motor controls, door and window controls, window coverings, pool pumps, motion, light and humidity sensors and A/V controls.
"Z-Wave has made significant inroads into home energy management by reinforcing that true home energy conservation doesn't stop at the meter, but rather requires the control of devices within the home," says Z-Wave Alliance chairman Mark Walters.
"As an example of this, Z-Wave already dominates home lighting control with over 15 brands utilizing our technology worldwide."
Z-Wave did not release any pricing information.
