Z-Wave Alliance to Make Big Splash at EHX Spring 2008

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - March 10, 2008) - EHX 2008 -- The Z-Wave Alliance will have a huge presence at EHX Spring 2008. 17 members will be exhibiting on the show floor and additional members will be exhibiting at the Alliance Demo Alley Room, located in Demo Alley Room 240 B. The Demo Alley room will provide attendees with an opportunity to experience the benefits of Z-Wave via the "Z-Wave Interoperability Wall." In total, 25 Z-Wave Alliance member companies will be showcasing Z-Wave-enabled, fully-interoperable products at the Expo, giving attendees an opportunity to see first-hand why Z-Wave is the proven leader in wireless home control and how it can help grow their business.

"We're at a point where consumers are starting to request Z-Wave-enabled products to solve everyday problems such as energy conservation, safety, security and convenience," said Mark Walters, chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance. "These consumers are looking for installers and distributors that can deliver Z-Wave products, and EHX Spring 2008 is the show for installers and distributors to learn more about Z-Wave. Almost 10% of the show exhibitors are members of the Z-Wave Alliance and use Z-Wave technology in their products."

At Demo Alley, the Z-Wave Alliance will feature the following:

--  Z-Wave Interoperability wall - a 30-foot diorama showcasing Z-Wave
    products in the areas of remote home management, energy conservation,
    access and control, and home entertainment control products and services
--  VIP receptions
--  Intermatic, Wayne-Dalton, Techniku, ESI and Lagotek, GE and more will
    all have a presence in the Z-Wave Alliance Demo Alley
    

"Z-Wave Alliance member participation is roughly double that of the last EHX and we have an unprecedented number of new Z-Wave certified products on the market, bringing the total to more than 200," added Walters.
