AN ARMY OF PROTECTION ON YOUR SIDE

How Z-Wave Home Automation Benefits Baytown Residents

Home automation is a way to make your home more secure and convenient. Given that the average temperature in Baytown is about 92 degrees Fahrenheit in August, with an average humidity level between 68% and 73%, being able to adjust the temperature of your thermostat while you are away from home is convenient.  You can maintain a comfortable temperature without paying higher energy bills. With Smart lighting, you can also save money by keeping lights off in larger homes when the space is not in use.

When it comes to security measures, home automation will make you feel more secure from intruders. Since Baytown has a higher-than-average car theft rate of 637 vehicles stolen for every 100,000 residents, having a Smart garage door module is a good way to protect your vehicles. This will allow you to ensure that the garage door is shut when you are away from home, and quickly open it when you return.

Whether you live in a waterfront neighborhood like Lakewood or a growing community like Baytown Crossings, having smart door locks will send real-time alerts that can give you peace of mind while you are not at home. You will also have access to a camera and lighting that you can set to turn on when there is movement at your door to help deter intruders from entering your home. In addition, if your community has HOAs that you need to abide by, like Ashbel Cove and Bay Creek, our installers will work to make sure all home automations are approved by your neighborhood board.

Why Z-Wave Is the Best Home Automation Standard

At Militia Protection, our Z-Wave devices offer a superior level of security compared to other home automation technologies. Curious why? We’ve put together a comparison between Z-Wave and the most commonly used communication standards in smart homes, which include Wi-Fi, Thread, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and Zigbee.

Z-Wave vs Other Standards
Z-Wave Other Standards
Security Z-Wave has two encryption protocols protecting every signal sent to your devices.
Z-Wave doesn’t connect devices to the home’s internet.
Provides a layer of protection that other protocols, like Wi-Fi, can’t offer.
The network is completely closed.
Z-Wave is based on a closed standard, which is another layer.
All other home automation protocols use an open standard.
While this is convenient for manufacturers, it also opens up vulnerabilities.
These standards usually involve fewer encryption techniques.
Penetration Z-Wave operates on the 908.42 MHz radio band.
With the lower frequency, this provides a longer range and more power when penetrating walls.
All of the other protocols use a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio band.
This higher frequency experiences interference easily and has trouble penetrating denser materials.
Power Usage Z-Wave-powered devices are known for their high levels of energy efficiency.
Some devices consume as little as 0.4 watts of power.
Devices that run on Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, and BLE tend to draw much more power than Z-Wave.
With between 5 and 20 watts of power, devices like smart door locks require more charging.
Number of Simultaneously Connected Devices Z-Wave connects up to 232 devices. Most competing types of home automation networks only connect about 50 devices without performance issues.
