Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Heavy Duty Smart Switch is
a Z-Wave switch controller that can also report the
wattage energy usage and KWH usage of the
device wired in to it. As part of its switching
functionality, Heavy Duty Smart Switch can be
controlled by other Z-Wave devices to turn loads
on or off. It can bear up to 40 amps current of
resister loads.
It also act as a repeater, forwarding Z-Wave
command messages to destination nodes if the
originating controller is out of range from the
destination node.
By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network,
commands can be routed to their destination via
intermediary Z-Wave products. Products that are
Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate
with other Z-Wave certified device.
