Plan your Goals
Your G100 and its components let you monitor, control, and automate many Z-Wave devices around
your home. You and your smartphone (or PC or tablet) communicate with these devices. Such devices
include cameras, door locks, lighting controls, and other Z-Wave supported devices. These devices can
work independently, or in groups that work together, like a thermostat that turns itself down when it sees
bright sunlight from a daylight sensor, and back up again when it gets dark.
Proper planning and coordination are essential when utilizing the capabilities of the G100 gateway in
conjunction with your Bosch Security System. Understanding your current environment gives you a
clearer picture as to how you want to automate your living space, and how you might improve it through
the use of Z-Wave functionality.
Monitoring and Security Applications
One popular application is monitoring and operating electronic door locks. When your child gets home
from school and unlocks the door, the G100 can send you a text message or an email. You can view a
still image, live or recorded video, from your computer or smartphone to be certain that your kids are
home safe and didn't bring unwelcome guests. You can view live video from inside your home to check
in on the babysitter while you are out, and so on.
In the security and monitoring examples above, you use a powered door lock, a video camera and
perhaps a motion detector. Most of these devices talk to the G100 through Z-Wave, the interoperable
standard in wireless control. How many of these devices will you need to connect? It all depends on what
you want to accomplish.
