The Z-Wave Alliance has welcomed Vivint Smart Home as the latest company to join as a principal member and take a seat on its board of directors.
The smart home company will join existing Alliance BOD members, including ADT, Alarm.com, ASSA ABLOY, Ingersoll Rand Nexia Intelligence, Jasco Products, Leedarson, LG Uplus, Nortek Security & Control, Ring, Silicon Labs and SmartThings.
Offering a comprehensive suite of Z-Wave-enabled smart devices, Vivint delivers an integrated smart home system with in-home consultation, professional installation and support, as well as 24/7 customer support and monitoring.
Through Vivint, home owners can create their own smart home using products such as smart locks, lighting, cameras, thermostats, garage door control and sensors. They can then control their home using a touchscreen panel, an app, or voice commands.
Jim Nye, chief product operations officer at Vivint Smart Home said: “Working with all our Z-Wave partners, we’ve been able to create an elegant and seamless customer experience. We are excited to be a part of this Alliance and continue to drive innovation for smart home customers.”
“As we close out 2019, we’re excited to welcome Vivint to our board of directors,” added Mitchell Klein, executive director of the Z-Wave Alliance.
“Our current board of directors roster includes some of the most impactful brands leading the smart home market today. Vivint has been a long-time supporter of Z-Wave, and we look forward to the ideas and expertise they will bring to the Alliance and our members.”
