Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR): The New Frontier

Avi Rosenthal

Z-Wave has long been recognized as a leading wireless protocol for the smart home, powering over 100 million deployed devices worldwide. With the introduction of Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR), the technology has broken through the limits of traditional smart home applications to unlock new possibilities across commercial, industrial, and large-area IoT deployments.

ZWLR extends the reach of Z-Wave to over one mile, supports networks of up to 4,000 nodes, and introduces a highly scalable star topology – features that make it uniquely suited for applications such as building automation, energy management, and sensor-based monitoring. Operating in the sub-GHz spectrum with ultra-low power requirements, ZWLR enables reliable, secure, and long-life wireless sensor networks that can serve as critical infrastructure for tomorrow’s connected world.

This session will provide a technically grounded look at ZWLR’s architecture, performance benefits, and deployment potential within the broader IoT ecosystem. Attendees will also hear how Z-Wave Alliance members and silicon providers (such as Trident IoT and Silicon Labs) are advancing multiprotocol coexistence, enabling Z-Wave to complement technologies such as LoRa, Bluetooth, and Zigbee within shared silicon environments.

By delivering extended range, massive scalability, and proven security and interoperability, ZWLR positions Z-Wave as a vital technology in the evolving connectivity environment. This presentation will highlight how Z-Wave is meeting the needs of next-generation IoT deployments while continuing to expand its role as a trusted global standard.

Workshop

Integrating LoRaWAN with BACnet for Building Management Systems

Sylvain Montagny

Building Management Systems (BMS) commonly rely on the BACnet protocol to control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). However, when additional sensors or actuators are required to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption, the limitations of a fully wired BACnet network become apparent.

In such cases, a wireless, long-range, and low-power protocol such as LoRaWAN offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative. LoRaWAN can be easily integrated with BACnet, enabling seamless communication between new devices and existing infrastructure.

For this workshop, we will focus on the LoRaBAC (LoRa–BACnet) solution, a simple, free and open-source application based on Node-RED. The demonstration will use 30 LoRaWAN thermostatic valves, provisioned on The Things Stack Network Server. Both LoRaBAC and The Things Stack will run directly on the controller.

This approach is compatible with all LoRaWAN end-devices, all gateways, and the major LoRaWAN network servers.

Note: The participants needs a PC with an USB A slot available.

Agenda
Introduction to LoRaWAN–BACnet interfaces.

Presentation of LoRaBAC, a free and open-source LoRaWAN to BACnet interface.

Hands-on: register a thermostatic valve on the network server.

Hands-on: read BACnet objects created by the interface (room temperature, valve setpoint).

Hands-on: write BACnet objects (setpoint) to send a new target temperature to the LoRaWAN valve.
