Enjoy powerful wireless security features, range and encryption with PowerG
PowerG is a groundbreaking wireless technology employed in our (Johnson Controls?) security sensors and devices. The industry leader in range and reliability, PowerG strengthens your home or business’s security network with robust features for effective monitoring and simplified device management. There are many devices available that utilize different wireless protocols to function, but our family of PowerG-enabled devices are the only ones available that can take advantage of the impressive functionality of PowerG.
What can PowerG do?
There are many options for wireless communication when creating a security system, but PowerG revolutionizes wireless device communication through several innovative methods. The impressive features of PowerG help your home or business remain secure through a cohesive, adaptive security system.
Two-Way Communication
While most security sensors only have one-way communication from the home panel, PowerG employs two-way communications paths between the panel and devices. Rather than the panel sending information out to the device, the devices and panels can report back and forth about their status.
There are several benefits to the devices and panel being able to talk to each other and fine-tune different parts of the system. PowerG’s adaptive power transmission enables security devices to adjust their power usage and only use the amount of battery necessary to communicate with the panel. With this feature, the battery life of your devices can extend up to eight years by using less power throughout use.
This two-way communication also enables the panel to coordinate all your devices at once for safer, smarter buildings. For example, when a PowerG Smoke Alarm detects smoke, the device communicates with the panel which will turn on the other alarms in your home and alert everyone in your home or business to get out.
Encryption
Some legacy wireless protocols implemented in other security sensors on the market aren’t encrypted and leave your security system exposed to threats. PowerG comes with unrivaled security encryption to prevent against attacks to your security system. With PowerG protection, you can take advantage of 128-bit AES encryption and frequency hopping to prevent against aggressive digital attacks, like code grabbing and message substitution.
Range
PowerG can transmit and communicate in areas over 4x the range of legacy wireless protocol. This huge coverage can reduce the cost of installation as additional repeaters generally won’t need to be installed. PowerG’s incredible range also enables fully wireless security systems in large installations where a wired system may have previously been the best option. With PowerG, you can easily secure an outside shed or garage, pool gate, or any other valuable location far away from your panel.
PowerG Devices
We offer several PowerG-enabled security and life safety devices for an effective, flexible system to fit your needs. Our security devices include motion detectors, window contacts, glass break detectors, and more – all easily integrated into your system via a PowerG wireless panel. You can also keep your business safe with our safety devices like the PowerG Smoke and Heat Detector or PowerG Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector.
After securing your home or business, consider adding PowerG automation devices to make your home and business smarter. With PowerG Everywhere devices, you can set scenes or schedules to automatically adjust your lighting as well as electrical plugs and sockets. IQ Lock-PG is also a great option to enable remote lock management and other powerful automation features for a more secure home.
