NOTE: This section replaces INS14259: Z-Wave Plus V2 Application Framework. Further updates to this document will be provided here.

This document describes the Z-Wave Plus V2 Application Framework (ZAF) version 11.x.x distributed on Z-Wave 700/800 SDK 8.x.x.

Some content was moved to Doxygen, and this content is shipped with the Simplicity SDK (and the Gecko SDK) beginning with 7.19.0.

The purpose of the ZAF is to facilitate the implementation of robust Z-Wave Plus V2 compliant products in a fast and cost-effective manner. The ZAF include device types and command classes for interoperable deployments. Interoperability is ensured between all device types thanks to the Z-Wave certification program. The Z-Wave Alliance manages the Z-Wave certification program, but certification testing is performed by independent test houses. Certification ensures that a product correctly implements all device and command classes that it claims to support. The Z-Wave logo is only granted to products passing certification.
