Z-Wave Long Range (Z-Wave LR) is built to significantly extend wireless range.
Additional benefits include extended battery life, greater overall security and performance, and SmartStart for easy device enrollment. Both the panel and device must be Z-Wave LR-enabled and have 700 or 800 series chips.
Features

Significantly increased range and reliability compared to standard Z-wave devices
-
Extends wireless range beyond the home, allowing peripheral devices such as outdoor lights, smart locks, and gate and garage door controllers to be easily connected
-
Supports stronger, more robust networks—no repeaters needed for Z-wave LR devices
-
Quick and simple device enrollment—scan the QR code to add in seconds with SmartStart
-
Enhanced security and overall performance
-
Longer battery life via dynamic power control
-
Enables Z-Wave LR devices to adjust and optimize radio output at each transmission
-
Backward compatible with existing Z-Wave networks and devices, allowing both Z-Wave and Z-Wave LR devices on the same network
Note: Z-Wave LR devices will not be included in Z-Wave Rediscovery.
