ManageHome is powered using the Zwave protocol which allows all devices to talk to each other wirelessly to ensure full coverage across the home without those extra wires and mess. Lights, Locks, Doorbells, Water Leak or Motion Sensors, Thermostats, Smoke & CO Detectors all connect to the Controller which in turn connects with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, Imperihome, and more.
