Z-Wave Alliance: Dominating Smart Locks with the Z-Wave User Credential Command Class
Join us for an insightful panel that explores the groundbreaking collaboration behind the industry’s first Z-Wave certified smart lock featuring the innovative User Credential Command Class (User Credential CC). Moderated by Tim Albright of AV Nation, this session brings together key players from Alarm.com, Yale, ADT, and Silicon Labs, who will share their journey from identifying a market-driven need to developing and certifying a new standard.
Attendees will gain a behind-the-scenes look into how competing industry leaders collaborated effectively to enhance the Z-Wave ecosystem. The discussion will address the process of proposing and creating a new command class, navigating intellectual property considerations, and ensuring smooth certification. Panelists will also reflect on how this collaborative effort translated into a successful product launch and discuss how companies without immediate use cases can still significantly benefit from participating in technical working groups.
This session is essential for those interested in influencing future Z-Wave developments and leveraging collaborative innovation for broader market success.

Z-Wave Alliance @ CES 2026 - Fireside Chat #2
2026-01-07 16:00 - 18:00 UTC
The Responsive Home: Next-Gen Sensors, Open Standards, and the Future of Intelligent Security
Join ADT for an engaging fireside chat on how the next generation of smart home sensors and open standards is reshaping how homes understand and respond to the people inside them. What began with simple motion and contact sensors has expanded into a diverse ecosystem of IR, radar, environmental, energy-aware, and multi-protocol devices. At the same time, the rapid evolution of standards like Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) and Matter 1.5 is unlocking a richer, more interoperable foundation for these sensors to work together at scale.
Panelists will explore how sensing technologies are evolving, how traditional room and motion sensors are being reimagined, and how sensor fusion is driving more intuitive and responsive experiences across lighting, climate, safety, and security. They will also discuss how open standards are shaping the next decade of home automation, enabling broader device ecosystems, extending range and reliability, and supporting advanced capabilities like presence-driven intelligence, all while maintaining user trust and privacy.
Together, the following participants will examine the state of modern sensor technology, the role of interoperability and open standards in accelerating innovation, and the future of sensor-driven home intelligence.

Session moderator: Avi Rosenthal, Z-Wave Alliance
Session speakers will include:

Gilles Drieu, ADT

Join us as we bring together the pioneers and leaders who had the foresight to embrace Z-Wave early and toast a technology that has stood the test of time at ISC West 2026!
For 15 years, Z-Wave has helped transform monitored security into a true smart-home platform. Early adopters saw that extending security systems with home control would drive engagement, stickiness, and long-term customer value. As other technologies cycled in and out, Z-Wave endured—scaling globally while delivering the security, interoperability, and reliability the monitored security business depends on.
Network with fellow security executives, dealers, and industry leaders while enjoying a special Z-Wave anniversary cocktail and taco bar.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
