Popis: The rapid development of information technology and computer networks make them part of almost everything in our daily life and it became impossible to abandon their use. One of the main and important applications of technology in homes is home automation including controlling and automation of electronic and electrical machines remotely. Wireless Home Automation Networks (WHANs) are used in homes to connect the different devices together and to the Internet. In order to control home devices remotely, there are many popular protocols such as INSTEON, ZigBee, and Home Plug. In this paper, we focus on the relatively new protocol called Z-Wave protocol and we discuss it development and applications in smart homes. This wireless protocol has many advantages over the popular and widely used ZigBee protocol as it provides better reliability, low radio rebirth, easy usage, and easy Interoperability.
