D-Link DCH-Z122 – mydlink Z-Wave Motion Sensor with PIR Motion Detection, Z-Wave Plus, AES 128-bit Encryption & Smart Home Automation
Overview:
• The D-Link DCH-Z122 is a mydlink Z-Wave Motion Sensor designed to detect movement within its field of view and trigger smart home automation actions.
• It uses a built-in passive infrared PIR sensor to detect motion and can be used to activate connected devices such as lights, cameras, or other mydlink Home devices.
• The sensor connects to a compatible D-Link Connected Home Z-Wave gateway using Z-Wave Plus technology.
• It allows users to receive mobile notifications when motion is detected, helping improve smart home awareness and basic security monitoring.
• The DCH-Z122 supports AES 128-bit encryption for secure Z-Wave communication between the sensor and the gateway.
• Its compact wireless design and battery-powered operation make it easy to install on walls in key areas without additional wiring.
