The Z-Wave Alliance has appointed Jasco Products Company to its board of directors. Jasco, an award-winning manufacturer of consumer electronics licensed under the GE brand, has been a member of the Alliance since 2006 and in this new role, will help guide Alliance programming and management.
“With its strong retail presence, Jasco has helped make Z-Wave products the most widely available and affordable wireless solution for homeowners,” said Mark Walters, Chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance. “Z-Wave-enabled products have been installed in more than a million homes in the U.S. in the last year alone, and Jasco has been a part of this success.”

Jasco GE-branded products can be found in more than 82,000 retail locations throughout the Americas, and its GE-branded Z-Wave products can be found in leading retailers across the United States. The robust GE Z-Wave line offers homeowners increased comfort, convenience, energy conservation, safety and security. Products include innovative remote controls for Z-Wave certified door locks, in-wall dimmers, plug-in modules for lights and small appliances, wall outlets and scene controllers. Jasco also makes the advanced GE Z-Wave Energy Monitoring Module that precisely captures power used by devices like computers and TVs, and interprets the data for consumers, allowing them to make adjustments to help reduce their carbon footprint and save money on high energy bills. Capturing voltage, frequency, kilowatts and kilowatt-hours as well as power factor, this device helps consumers lead a more energy-efficient lifestyle.

“Jasco chose to build Z-Wave certified products more than five years ago, and through continued investments and innovative product development, we have been able to support many Z-Wave partners with GE and private label Z-Wave products,” said Cameron Trice, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Product Development at Jasco. “Bringing affordable Z-Wave technology and home monitoring capabilities to the mass market is at the forefront of what we do.”

Currently, there are more than 500 certified products on the market that speak Z-Wave. Z-Wave Alliance is the world’s largest consortium of manufacturers making interoperable wireless products.
