Z-Wave Protocol Certification achieved by Silicon Labs and Trident IoT

BEAVERTON, OR — The Z-Wave Alliance revealed that leading silicon providers Silicon Labs and Trident IoT have both achieved the Alliance’s newly established Z-Wave Protocol Certification.

As the silicon solutions providers currently supporting the Z-Wave ecosystem, this certification ensures that all products developed on their platforms maintain the required levels of interoperability, heightened security, and continued innovation across a global Z-Wave marketplace.  

“Achieving Z-Wave Alliance certification for our semiconductor solutions and SDK is a testament to our dedication to quality, interoperability, and developer empowerment,” said Mariusz Malkowski, CTO at Trident IoT. “This milestone enables our partners to confidently accelerate their time-to-market with fully certifiable and innovative Z-Wave products.”

The Z-Wave Protocol Certification enables Silicon Labs customers to develop and certify Z-Wave products using its EFR32ZG23, EFR32ZG28, and ZGM230S hardware platforms along with their latest Z-Wave software release (v7.23.1).

“When Silicon Labs made the strategic decision to open Z-Wave technology up to the community in the name of open-source advancement, the goal was always to drive member contribution, broader adoption, and strengthen the ecosystem,” said Abitzen Xavier, Staff Product Manager for Proprietary & Z-Wave at Silicon Labs. “Z-Wave continues to be a leading platform in the smart home and beyond.”

Avi Rosenthal, Chairman of the Board for the Z-Wave Alliance, praised the contributions of both companies, stating, “The achievements by Trident IoT and Silicon Labs mark significant milestones, reinforcing the strength and versatility of the Z-Wave ecosystem. By taking the necessary steps to certify their solutions, these companies now provide manufacturers and developers with essential tools for accelerating smart home and IoT innovation.”
