Jasco‘s GE-branded Z-Wave Deluxe Hand-Held Remote has been named a 2007 Innovations Honoree in the Integrated Home Systems category for the 2007 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.

Using Z-Wave technology, the RF wireless language created by Zensys, the remote wirelessly controls lighting and appliances. It offers features like separate node, group and scene functions, timed dim rate adjustments, and timer with calendar operations.
