How does Z-Wave handle software updates and upgrades?

Z-Wave enables software update and upgrade for smart home devices in the following ways:

• Central Control Unit: A Z-Wave system typically has a central control unit that serves as a hub or controller. This unit regularly monitors the network for available software updates and sends them to the devices.
• Device manufacturers: Device manufacturers can provide software updates over the Z-Wave network to fix bugs and add new features.
• Automated processes: The Z-Wave protocol includes automated processes that allow software updates and upgrades to be performed safely and efficiently without impacting the network.

It is important to note that the Z-Wave system must be regularly checked to ensure that it is up to date and that all devices are functioning properly. It is recommended that users are regularly informed of available software updates and install them to ensure the functionality and security of their Z-Wave system.
