The Minoston MR40Z utilizes a Z-Wave 800 Series SoC, which provides enhanced range and reduced "sleep-to-wake" latency compared to previous generations. This controller supports up to 12 distinct scene triggers via single, double, triple, and hold/release actions on each button. Structural dimensions are engineered to fit standard Decora wall plates, while a magnetic base allows the unit to be detached for handheld use.
Performance data confirms support for S2 Authenticated security, which minimizes network chatter and optimizes the CR2032 battery lifespan. The device operates with zero cloud dependency, executing commands locally through a Z-Wave gateway. Technical specifications list compatibility with Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) protocols, although operational performance may degrade in extreme cold temperatures due to the limitations of coin cell chemistry.
For environments where Z-Wave is not the primary protocol, the Nanoleaf Wireless Smart Switch provides similar multi-button control using the Matter-over-Thread standard.
This remote is a high-performance entry in the universal smart remotes category, focusing on local-first Z-Wave mesh control.
