Elk Z-Wave pathway interface product

Elk Products has announced a new Z-Wave pathway product called the ELK-M1XSLZW, which interacts with Leviton’s VRC0P-1LW module and allows the ELK M1 Cross Platform Control to access and control Z-Wave certified products.

This includes the wireless Black and Decker (Kwikset) and Schlage locks – both locally and remotely. The M1 uses its powerful rules-based engine and user interfaces to send and receive commands from Z-Wave devices to adjust lighting, thermostat and more.

Leviton Manufacturing Co. Inc. residential automation product manager Amanda Mancuso states, "We are pleased our serial interface enabled ELK to develop their advanced Z-Wave interface which will now provide access to Leviton lighting controls and automation products as well as other Z-wave partners including Black and Decker and Schlage.”

This product was developed for use by professional integrators and will be available in Q4 of 2011.
