AN ARMY OF PROTECTION ON YOUR SIDE

Why We Chose Z-Wave for Our Home Automation

Z-Wave vs Wi-Fi
Z-Wave Wi-Fi
Range Z-Wave typically has a longer range than Wi-Fi and has an easier time projecting through walls since it has a lower frequency. The range is also extended with Z-Wave Long Range (LR). Without a range extender, Wi-Fi often experiences signal weakening when hitting walls.
Power Consumption Z-Wave uses very little power as it uses lower frequencies for communication. Most devices last longer than 10 years. Most use about 1.5 watts while in use. Wi-Fi smart home devices use anywhere between 5 and 20 watts for day-to-day operations.
Device Support Up to 232 Between 20 and 50
Security Z-Wave works on a closed network that runs on a lower frequency. There are also default security protocols and encryption technologies in place. Wi-Fi is based on an open standard. If someone is on your Wi-Fi, they can access your home automation.

Providing the Best Home Automation Installations in the Houston Area

Militia is a market leader for both security and home automation in the Houston metropolitan area. We understand that, as a concept, home automation is fairly new. For this reason, our team at Militia will walk you through every step of using your new home automation setup for the highest degree of comfort and convenience. 

Here’s how our home automation offerings compare to some of the services and devices that some of our local competitors offer:

Home Automation Comparison
Home Automation Militia Protection Other Home Automation Businesses in Houston
The Underlying Technology We exclusively use Z-Wave technology for all of our home automation installations. Z-Wave is more secure, has an easier time broadcasting through walls, and has a better range in general. Many other Houston providers utilize Wi-Fi as their primary technology for home automation. This includes systems enabled through Google Home, Alexa, and Siri. These aren’t nearly as secure since they are run on your home network. There are also a few providers that use Lutron’s RadioRA 2 system, which has very limited compatibility.
Product Offerings At Militia Protection, we offer:
- Z-Wave light switches
- Z-Wave signal enhancers
- Z-Wave smart lighting
- Z-Wave thermostats
- Z-Wave smart door locks
- Z-Wave garage door modules 		Wi-Fi-based home automation devices that are offered by our competitors often include:
- Wi-Fi smart bulbs and light strips
- Wi-Fi smart switches
- Home automation controllers, like Alexa
- Wi-Fi thermostats
Control Systems We provide an easy way to control all of your smart devices. You can easily activate your devices, control your thermostat, or adjust lighting levels through a Z-Wave dimmer or smartphone-based app. These also tie to the geo-fencing feature of your home security setup. For the most part, most Houston-based home automation providers deliver voice control. This comes at the sacrifice of security since these systems can be accessed by anyone using your system's wake word.

Why Home Automation Is Beneficial to Houston Residents

Our team is the best in Houston when it comes to installing Z-Wave-powered home automation devices. With that said, what are the advantages of a fully automated home? We’ll come in for a consultation, give you a breakdown of the devices that we install, and get your home set up for convenience, comfort, security, and accessibility. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits you can expect: 

How Home Automation Improves Lives
How Home Automation Improves Lives in Houston
You Heighten Your Home Security One of the better features of home automation from a security standpoint is the ability to manage your system remotely. With home automation tech, you can lock doors, manage lighting, and disable alarms all from afar.
Things Are Much More Convenient Convenience is one of the hallmarks of this kind of technology. With a modern system, it’s easy to adjust lighting or temperature without getting up. This means that you can go to bed and then use an app to turn off all of the lights in the house or reduce the temperature in rooms you’re not occupying.
Your Home Will Be More Energy-Efficient Smart devices have inherent programmability that will allow you to manage their energy consumption more efficiently. This will reduce utility bills and provide a better overall carbon footprint for your home.
You’ll Be More Comfortable With home automation, it’s simple to dim lights, adjust temperatures, and adjust entertainment.
You’ll Be Able to Make Changes Anywhere The remote nature of home automation makes it especially convenient, even when you’re not home. Want to save money on energy? Turn your thermostat off when you’re not at home and turn it on again right before you come home from work. Forget to turn the lights off before a trip? Simply turn them off using your smartphone app.
