RazBerry or Z-Box

Post by md6a2 »

Hi,

I am soon going to give a a try to Z-Way on a dedicated hardware (because Z-cloud looks promising enough and the documentation is top notch compared to many other ZWave boxes).

What would be the official recommandation from Z-wave.me : is it better to run Z-Way on a Raspberry with the Razberry daughter card or is the Z-Box running on an alix the best way ?

What would be the pros and cons of each one ?


Thank you in advance,
Miguel
