Why you should look for an S2 hub or gateway to add to your home

The hub or gateway is the brain of your smart home; it is where all your other devices – locks, thermostats, smart speakers – can connect and where you program specific actions to happen based on your needs. With this much control and access of your devices, your hub needs world-class security to protect it from any harm. With Z-Wave S2, we’ve built strong safeguards right into your hub/gateway.

Your hub/gateway also talks to the cloud and allows you to have remote access to your home – that’s why we’ve built strong cloud protections along with specific barriers to stop anyone from intercepting info about your home network while you’re accessing it on the go.
