What is Z-Wave SmartStart?

Z-Wave SmartStart is a technology that allows Z-Wave devices to be enrolled simply by scanning their QR codes. SmartStart eliminates the need to put panels in Add Device mode or to trigger devices (as is the case when enrolling non-SmartStart S2 devices). Products can be scanned prior to service appointments, greatly reducing the amount of time spent on site. SmartStart devices are ideal for Upsell Offers as items can be enrolled, mailed to customers, and used immediately, right out of the box.  

SmartStart benefits

Greatly simplifies the Add Device process

There are no more complicated inclusion sequences to reference; no more buttons to push.

Saves time

Enroll Z-Wave devices in seconds. 

Help eliminate user error

Fewer steps mean fewer opportunities to make mistakes. That also means fewer support calls when something goes wrong.

Enhances security

SmartStart devices are S2-encrypted for maximum security and enhanced reliability.
