They don't have wifi, unless you mean the z-wave protocol, which is a separate wireless protocol.
You can add a zwave controller that translates ip commands from a home server to zwave commands, but it can be wired or wifi (or usb).
You can also directly program zwave "scenes", which work directly between the z wave devices without needing a controller. Like a direct remote control.
- taeric 5y agoI did mean z-wave. I am not sure of what acronym to call that by. I guess I could have just said radio/wireless? Edit: Regardless of what I meant, I think you proved I should look more into these. Thanks!
- beerandt 5y agoIt's proprietary wireless, usually people just say zwave. My point was that it's not like most iot devices that try to find an open internet connection to phone home. They're 100% as isolated as you want them to be.
