The Z-Wave Alliance reveals details about the Z-Wave Plus v2 certification-- an updated certification promising a "significantly improved" consumer experience through the addition a plug-and-play setup feature.
Designed for devices built on the Z-Wave 700 platform, the v2 certification includes SmartStart, a feature allowing hubs to recognise any SmartStart-enabled accessory with a quick app scan of a QR code. Through SmartStart the device information is already set up in the hub, and pairing is complete prior to the consumer adding the product. Thus, the product setup process is both shorter and simpler.
