This allows Z-Wave devices to pair with existing smart home systems allowing for easy connection.
Can a Z-Wave device still send me text alerts?
Absolutely! You will have to customize the action within your smart home system, but you can create advanced automations for stove shutoff events, smoke alarm sounding, and more.

Z-Wave devices are completely white, whereas PRO devices are black for electric and red for gas.
