SHAKOPEE, Minn. — March 13, 2017 — Pro Control today announced it is now shipping its all-new Z-Wave® solutions. The Pro.zwi Z-Wave interface module utilizes Z-Wave RF technology to enable simple and cost-effective monitoring and control of Z-Wave-enabled systems and devices via a Pro Control system. Addressing the need for comprehensive lighting control, the new solutions include a line of switches and modules to enable users to easily manage lighting elements both locally and from the convenience of a Pro Control user interface.

"The Z-Wave ecosystem continues to grow with more devices and smart home solutions coming to market every day," said Mike Everett, Vice President of Global Sales for Pro Control. "For dealers, this new Pro Control Z-Wave lineup expands their capabilities with a simple, flexible, and cost-effective solution for integrating Z-Wave-enabled devices into the Pro Control system without an exhaustive rewire."
