z-wave
Not open proprietary protocol from Sigma Designs outside NDA.
Chips are only avaible from Sigma Designs and the partner Mistumi.
Z-Wave (PHY Layer) is a sub-1Ghz protocol.
Controller devices and slave devices with a reliable power source participate in message forwarding up to four hops and they are always listening.
