GAO’s Z-Wave End Devices are integral components within the Z-Wave home automation ecosystem. These devices communicate wirelessly using the Z-Wave protocol, a low-power, mesh network technology designed for smart home applications. Unlike Z-Wave controllers or hubs, end devices do not manage network traffic or relay data but function as endpoints to execute specific tasks. They include various smart devices such as sensors (temperature, motion, door/window), actuators (lights, locks, thermostats), and other appliances. Each end device communicates with nearby nodes to relay information or commands, contributing to a cohesive and scalable smart home environment. Their efficient communication and low power requirements make them ideal for continuous, reliable operation in home automation setups. 

The Z-Wave End Device may also be called: Z-Wave Module, Z-Wave Controller, Z-Wave Node, Z-Wave Sensor, Z-Wave Actuator, Z-Wave Component, Z-Wave Unit, Z-Wave Smart Device, Z-Wave Home Automation Device, and Z-Wave Wireless Device.
