  • One benefit of ZWave is that it operates on the 900MHz band instead of 2.4GHz, giving it both better range and penetration and avoiding interference from WiFi.

    The security benefit is that 99/100 times, connecting a device to WiFi also gives it internet access. The user has to manually intervene and block this ability, the device has internet by default. This is simply not the case for a ZWave device. For those to connect to the internet and to malicious domains, you would need to be able to access the ZWave coordinator with a compromised device. It adds a whole new necessary link to the chain.
