A Z-Wave Base Kit， and its accompanying Regional Kit， are the first steps taken by developers and Original Equipment Manufacturers （OEMs） on the road to design and develop products that network wirelessly using RF-based Z-Wave technology. These kits contains all the hardware you will need to design and develop software built on top of the Z-Wave Protocol API， as well as to test and debug the final Z-Wave product. Inside you will find Z-Wave ZM5304， ZM5202 and ZM3102 modules that can be used for development and even be directly integrated into your existing products. This guide will familiarize you with Z-Wave technology by guiding you through the creation of a simple Z-Wave network. It will then help you obtain the software necessary to build your own Z-Wave applications and setup your development environment. Finally， you will be pointed to a wealth of software and documentation resources at the Z-Wave Technical Service website. Here you can get the latest versions of Z-Wave Software Development Kits （SDKs）， companion tools， and get access to technical and support documents you can use to further expand your knowledge of Z-Wave technology
