Lear Car2U™ Home Automation System

Thermostats, draperies, alarm systems and indoor\outdoor lighting are just a few of the devices you can control with your Car2U system when it interfaces with Home Control modules powered by Z-Wave.

Z-Wave products talk to each other to create a very robust Home Control Network capable of controlling just about everything in your home. A Z-Wave module looks and operates much like any other product you would find in your home. To control a kitchen lamp for example, you only need to replace the existing light switch with a Z-Wave enabled light switch. Z-Wave enabled light switches work just like a standard switch but add the benefit of remote control.
