New addition to company's portfolio of hardware, software and tools designed to monitor and control Z-Wave devices

Richmond, Virginia - November 16, 2010 - Tridium today announced the availability of a new Z-Wave^® Communication Option Card and Driver. These additions to the company's portfolio of hardware, software and tools are designed to monitor and control Z-Wave devices. The Z-Wave Communication Option Card and Driver allows users to use Z-Wave technology to create a wireless, two-way mesh network and have complete control of a network of compatible devices throughout a building from a single JACE^® running the Niagara^AX Framework.

The Z-Wave option card and driver allows rapid installation, sensing, and control of both home and small commercial automation systems consisting of lighting, temperature control and security. A plug-in option card, the Z-Wave card was designed to be installed in the option card slot of a JACE-2, JACE-6, JACE-7 or JACE-XPR. The option card also enables the JACE to integrate with Z-Wave devices as a secondary controller after replication has occurred from a third-party primary Z-Wave controller.

"The addition of the Z-Wave option card and driver opens up exciting new possibilities of automated solutions for both residential and small commercial automation systems for increased comfort, convenience, safety, and security," said Marc Petock, vice president global marketing and communications at Tridium. "With its undisputed strength of interoperability, Z-Wave provides an array of capabilities and functionality that helps manufacturers and system integrators control communications with Z-Wave devices through the Niagara^AX Framework."
