Z-Wave LED dimmer is a lighting device that adopts z-wave wireless communications protocol for home automation. The protocol is oriented to the residential control and automation market and is intended to provide a simple and reliable method to wirelessly control lighting.
A Z-Wave automation system can be remote controlled via a remote control, using a Z-Wave master controller that enables to add the lighting device and remote to the z-wave network.

Z-Wave is designed to provide reliable, low-latency transmission of small data packets at data rates up to 100kbits. The throughput is 40kbits (9.6kbits using old chips) and suitable for control and sensor applications, unlike Wi-Fi and other IEEE 802.11-based wireless LAN systems that are designed primarily for high data rates. Communication distance between two nodes is about 30 metres, and with message ability to hop up to four times between nodes, it gives enough coverage for most residential houses.

Z-wave operates at 868.42 in Europe, at 908.42 MHz in the U.S. and Canada but uses other frequencies in other countries depending on their regulations. This band competes with some cordless telephones and other consumer electronics devices, but avoids interference with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other systems that operate on the crowded 2.4 GHz band.

Z-Wave uses a source-routed mesh network architecture. Devices can communicate to one another by using intermediate nodes to actively route around and circumvent household obstacles or radio dead spots that might occur in the multipath environment of a house. A message from node A to node C can be successfully delivered even if the two nodes are not within range, providing that a third node B can communicate with nodes A and C. If the preferred route is unavailable, the message originator will attempt other routes until a path is found to the C node. Therefore, a Z-Wave network can span much farther than the radio range of a single unit; however, with several of these hops a slight delay may be introduced between the control command and the desired result.
?
The simplest network is a single controllable lighting device and a master controller. Additional devices can be added at any time, as can secondary controllers, including traditional hand-held controllers, key-fob controllers, wall-switch controllers and PC applications designed for management and control of a Z-Wave network. A Z-Wave network can consist of up to 232 devices, with the option of bridging networks if more devices are required.

A device must be "included" to the Z-Wave network before it can be controlled via Z-Wave. This process (also known as "pairing" and "adding") is usually achieved by pressing a sequence of buttons on the controller and on the device being added to the network. This sequence only needs to be performed once, after which the device is always recognized by the controller. Devices can be removed from the Z-Wave network by a similar process. The controller learns the signal strength between the devices during the inclusion process, thus the architecture expects the devices to be in their intended final location before they are added to the system. Typically, the controller has a small internal battery backup, allowing it to be unplugged temporarily and taken to the location of a new device for pairing. The controller is then returned to its normal location and reconnected.

No matter what your operating system is, you're bound to encounter technical problems such as system errors, missing DLL files and corrupted drivers every time you use a computer. And so before you run into one of these issues, you should at least have an idea on what to do during these scenarios. To help you with that, here are three of the common computer-related blunders experienced by most PC users and its possible solutions.
1. You cannot connect to the internet.
Surfing the internet is one of the mostly used function of a computer. Thus, it is highly likely that a user has encountered at least one network connection error. This error is brought about by a lot of factors, which includes the following:
* hardwaresoftware-related errors in the router
* incorrect configuration of the network and IP address
* erroneous setup of network cables
* frequency of time-outs and latency of the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
* firewall programs
You should check if your device is correctly setup in these parts. For instance, you must check if you have plugged the LAN cable in its correct socket. You may also try to check the latency of your ISP. However, if you think that solving these problems is too technical for you, you may contact your ISP's technical support.
Also, more often than not, the root cause of a network trouble is too simple that people usually overlook it. So before anything else, check if you have turned on your "LAN" access in your computer, and don't forget to plug and turn on your router (if you have any).
2. There is a lot of adware that pop up in your browser.
